Chico Museum

Established in 1904 as a Carnegie Library belonging to the City of Chico, the original Romanesque building was remodeled in 1931 in Mediterranean Revival style and then leased to the Chico Museum Association in 1981, when a new library was built in conjunction with the County. Offering both permanent and changing displays, it seeks to tell Chico's story in pictures and objects, providing a classroom for area school children as well as adults interested in the narrative of Chico history.

Open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., it is adjacent to the Chico State campus at the corner of Second and Salem Sts.  An elevator is available for handicap access (check to see if still running).
