Fraternal Hall

To entertain men seeking their fortunes in mining boom towns, social clubs and fraternal organizations held meetings and offered other diversions in Kern County’s mining communities.

The exhibits on display in this building contain artifacts from various fraternal organizations in Kern County.

In 1961, Violet Caldwell and Harry Chamberlain donated this structure, originally a two-story farm house located southwest of Bakersfield near Old River.
