Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County

The Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County is a local history museum housing artifacts and photographs that document the development of the Yuba-Sutter region. The exhibits cover different time periods and aspects of the area's growth.

The museum was founded in 1975 with support from Howard and Norma Harter and the Sutter County Historical Society. This establishment allowed the region to preserve important records and objects from the Gold Rush era and early settlement times.

The museum displays objects from Native American groups and early settlers that show how people lived and worked in this region. These collections reveal the connections between indigenous communities and newcomers who arrived over time.

The museum is located on its own grounds and open on weekdays and Saturday, with longer hours during the week than on weekends. Visiting requires minimal planning since the exhibitions are relatively compact and easy to navigate.

The museum features a rose garden maintained by a local gardening group, offering visitors a peaceful outdoor space during their visit. This garden was given as a gift and honors the memory of a community figure.
