RIDGECREST, Calif. (KERO) — The California Natural Resources Agency announced Thursday that the California Cultural and Historical Endowment has awarded more than $19.7 million in funding to support 63 California museum projects across the state, including one project in Kern County. The China Lake Museum Foundation in Ridgecrest has been awarded $412,365 to help with the development and construction of the museum's STEAM Discovery Center Annex. The China Lake Museum ("Rocket Science and Beyond") explores both the past and the future of military technology, and the facility already hosts science camps for high school students.
