a hour's drive out Highway 178 in a little community named Bodfish is the
Silver City Ghost Town. Carefully restored, we think you will find it
quite interesting. (see Bodfish). In Bakersfield,
proper, are two museums: the California Living Museum (10500 Alfred
Harrell Hwy off Hwy 178) and the Kern County Museum (3801 Chester Ave).
