The Sierra Mono Indian Museum has an extensive collection of baskets, which is the main focus of the museum. This is a parallel to the Mono Indian culture, as baskets were a main cultural focus of this tribe. The museum also features wildlife exhibits and tools, and jewelry and baskets from other North American Indian tribes. The museum is in North Fork, a community on the north fork of the Willow Creek, which flows into the San Joaquin River northeast of Fresno.
