Favell Museum

For 40 years the Favell Museum has astounded visitors with the unexpected. Gene Favell, along with family and friends, collected Native American artifacts most of his life. The museum was built to be a place for the public to share his passion. It is the culmination of a family's dream to preserve western artifacts and share them with the world. The Favell Museum is dedicated to the Indians who roamed and loved this land before the coming of the white man and to those artists who truly portray the inherited beauty which surrounds us. Their artifacts and art are an important part of the heritage of the West.

The Favell Museum is a rare treasure based on a boy's interest in collecting artifacts from Western heritage. The museum was built to showcase Gene Favell's private collection and to share it with all who visit. The museum has been expanded to include other personal collections and Western art by many prestigious and well-known artists. Today the museum is run by a private non-profit foundation.

A visit to the Favell Museum is a must for anyone who loves the West and enjoys learning about Western art and Native American artifacts. The Favell Family's philosophy is well summed up in the museum's theme statement, which is carved in redwood and hangs over the museum entrance.
