C-SPAN Cities Tour - Bakersfield: 19th Century Kern County

Tour the Kern County Museum's Pioneer Village, which is a collection of over 50 buildings representing the history of Kern County through the 19th century. Museum Curator Lori Wear takes us inside three of the homes, talks about the families who lived in them, and explains how their stories represent the growth of Bakersfield throughout the late 1800s.

We always went to the Bakersfield Orchestra for field trips. We would "sing along" with them. Even in grade school I thought is was lame.

Where is the Native Americans part in this history? Oh that's right we wrote most of that out! Then we rewrote the rest. Not to mention other Not so grand and hidden things. Welcome to sheep village people come on in. Don't take me wrong, sheep village was cool, when I was 5.
