The Red Barn Museum is housed in the former dairy barn of the old County Hospital and stands proudly as a dominant landmark along Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas. The facility showcases Calaveras County’s rich history in agriculture, mining, logging, and ranching. Each display is a collection of traditional local tools of various trades like blacksmith or butcher and include actual mining carts, farm wagons, and other donated objects. The displays incorporate fun interactive pieces. The Red Barn Annex houses additional artifacts including the restored 1800s Hook and Ladder.
