Sacramento Valley Museum, Local museum in Williams, California.
The Sacramento Valley Museum occupies a large building with multiple exhibition rooms displaying regional artifacts spanning from prehistoric times to the present. The collections include objects, photographs, and written documents that trace how the area developed over many centuries.
The building was constructed in 1911 and originally served as Williams Union High School until it closed in 1956. Local citizens then transformed it into a museum that opened to the public in 1963.
