Visiting the Heritage Museum at the California Rodeo Salinas

SALINAS, Calif. (KION-TV) -- California Rodeo Salinas Chair Laurie LaVelle talks to KION about the Heritage Museum and some of the old pieces that make up the rodeo's history.

From the large stage coach display to other displays dedicated to the rodeo queens, athletes and clowns, there's plenty of history to look back on since the rodeo started in the early 1900's.

The Heritage Museum is open 4 to 8:30 pm on July 17 and 18, plus 11 am to 4 pm on July 19 and 20. It's also open by special appointment throughout the year.
