Founded in 2022 by Peaceful Valley Co-Founders Mark and Amy Meyers, The Donkey History Museum offers an in-depth look at the many contributions that donkeys have made to the creation of our nation. With interactive exhibits and activities for all ages, the museum is a fun, family friendly destination and the perfect day trip. Admission is free, making it an easy and welcoming stop for everyone!
Guests can purchase a paydirt bag and try their hand at panning through the sluice to uncover real gems. Veterans are also invited to add their name to the Wall of Heroes, a meaningful tribute honoring their service, and visitors can watch documentaries made by Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue Executive Director Mark Meyers, including Donkeys of the Caribbean and Without a Voice: The Eradication of Australia’s Wild Donkeys, which explore the challenges donkeys face around the world. The Museum features seven galleries, including The Gold Rush Gallery, Americana Gallery, Contemporary Artist Gallery, International Gallery, Mule Gallery, and War Room. The Museum offers one of the few family-friendly venues in Mesquite.
The Donkey History Museum is moving to a bigger and better space! Our new location at The Village at Adobe Mesa, 1225 Hardy Way in Mesquite, will give us more room for exhibits, more fun, and even more activities for the whole family. An opening date will be announced soon. Until then, the museum remains open at it’s current location on Mesquite Blvd.
