I lived in Bonita in the 1950s, until age 9. In 2014, I took a trip back and visited Bonita Museum & Cultural Center. My family had donated to them a painting of the historic Old Red Barn, and prior to my arrival I had e-mailed them that I was coming, and told them about some of my early history there. They promised me they would have that painting on display for me to see when I got there. I told them when I would arrive, but when I got there, they didnt have the painting out, the docent said she couldnt find it, and they really werent very interested in my disappointment.Bonita had been my home town for nearly a decade when I was a child, and I remember passing by that Old Red Barn many times on our way into town and leaving it. When I visited the museum, fully expecting to see that wonderful painting, all they could offer were photographs of the barn, which was okay, but I wish they had kept their word to have that painting out for me to see. It would have meant a lot. I shall probably never have another opportunity to visit this area.Evidently, they didnt consider it very important.

There to attend a conference...arrived early so invested the time looking around..lovely little slice of SD country history.

Truly enjoy showing my art at the Bonita Museum. Last nights reception was so encouraging with art fun for kids; a large ukelele band and a full room of Small Scale art offered for $100 or less.

Mildly interesting. Docents are enthusiastic. Some nice photos and documentation of the areas origins and history.

I went for an art show & discovered a cool neighborhood museum. Charming pictorial history and collection of local artifacts.

Very informative museum, friendly staff, tons of local history

Went for the fiber arts display. Great event, fantastic people!

Small space with the History of the Bonita Valley. Very informative. Second room features artist paintings

I like their Art Shows and other events

Small but very informative

Great displays that celebrate the community!
