Information about Butte County Pioneer Memorial Museum...

First opened in 1932, the “Relics House” has expanded to display a wide variety of “stuff” from our pioneer days. Here you can see; a doll from the Donner Party, a replica of the Dogtown Nugget, the Oroville Fire Chief’s horse-drawn cart; it’s a stroll though your history!   Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4:00 p.m., closed Dec-Jan

Exhibits

Many gold rush period items, including a gold needle used in an early mining camp, and a doll from a Donner Party survivor. Our fire department display now includes the Oroville Fire Chief's horse-drawn cart.
