The Walnut Creek Historical Museum occupies the former masonic lodge building on Antique City Drive in downtown Walnut and was built in 1911. The second floor was the original temple and still includes the temple lighting system and altar.
The museum features three floors with over 50 displays and several collections, including military, farming, athletics, inventors, early families, and schools. Many of the items in the museum date back to the 1870s and 1880s, when Walnut was a thriving prairie town of 1,000 people.
