All proceeds will benefit the Hi-Desert Nature Museum.

On February 8, 2022 the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission, in their function as Museum Advisory Committee, accepted two new donations into the Hi-Desert Nature Museum's permanent collection.

In the spring of 2021 the Museum hosted "Stitching California" an online Art Quilt Exhibit and sponsored a contest for a Morongo Basin inspired quilt. Karen Morton's design was chosen, and she hand crafted it. It was gifted to the museum in December 2021. The quilt can be seen on display at the Hi-Desert Nature Museum.

Sluice boxes, such as this are used in the recovery of gold, and other minerals from placer deposits. This item is believed to have been sourced near an old mine in Twentynine Palms and was used in the early 20^th century. This item was generously donated by  Drs. Daniel and Mary Ann Shirbroun in memory of Evelyn Shirbroun.
