Yuba County Museum of History

05/13/2026

Special Thanks to Supervisor House and the Other members of the board. So excited that this museum is becoming a realty! Thank you again for the initial funding.

Today our Yuba County Board of Supervisors took a major step in bringing the Yuba County Museum of History to life. I am happy to announce we approved their grant application to help fund getting their location on 4th Street prepared to start displaying Yuba County’s history. I can’t wait to see what they bring out of storage and put on display. Our youth will have a place to learn about Yuba County, our historians will have a place to make sure our stories are not lost!
Thank you members of the Yuba County Museum of History!
