The Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens, or EDM, is an historical home on 16 acres[1] that was developed into a museum and gardens by antique dealers Edward Eberle and Dean Stout. They opened the facility to the public in 1958 in Cherry Valley, California.[2] The museum features late 16th to early 19th century European & Asian Decorative arts, and a research library containing 17th, 18th, and 19th century works on a variety of subjects.
