This place is so worth checking out! It amazes me how many Chico locals have not been in. I enjoy the exhibits and appreciate what the museum offers our town. Take a peak and learn a bit of Chico history! Great location and easy parking as well. Affordable donations.

Great displays, lots of detail and put together very well. All the staff and docents are very knowledgeable. A nice downtown location but parking can be difficult.

They do different venues every few months. Have seen a few and they did a very good job. Last one was someones photos of the history of Chico, and it was wonderful. It is not a very large museum, but they managed to get lots os things displayed. Plan on spending a hour or two. The building is old and love the tiles inside.
