The Sacramento Valley Museum is a museum located at 1491 E Street Williams, in Williams, Colusa County, northern California. [1] The museum is exclusively devoted to Sacramento Valley history from the mid 19th through the mid 20th century. It displays historical photographs, artifacts, textiles and quilts, manuscripts and documents, and vintage newspapers from the Sacramento Valley region in the northern California Central Valley. [2] [3]

History

The museum was envisioned by Lulu Gale, who moved to Williams in 1962. With her efforts and contributions from others, the collection was created for display. The museum opened on February 14, 1963. [4]

Features

The Sacramento Valley Museum is open from March through November. It also has a Reading Room, available by appointment for researchers and the public, to see the larger collection that is not on exhibit. [5]

The Museum is a nonprofit organization that is primarily supported by contributions from its members and the regional community. [6]
