Museum of the Sierra — Attraction in California

We had our wedding at the Amphitheater in November, it was absolutely stunning! Thankfully it is so naturally beautiful that the decor that didn't make it out (it rained) almost didn't matter! The only hiccup was a small miscommunication with the staff working the day of, when my husband went to set up chairs the person told him he wasn't allowed to use the chairs, after explaining we could and had discussed it before she responded, "okay I guess just this once I will let it go." and then they came up after the ceremony and wanted the DJ to announce that guests needed to carry their chairs back down.

A nice little selection of local history, from Native People's, Forestry and Logging, to the recent Creek Fire. It's free to check out, but it won't kill you to drop some cash in their collection at the door.

The area around the museum and the outdoor exhibits are landscaped with native plants and trees and are beautiful to walk through as you move from exhibit to exhibit.

We stop by every year to check out the Steam Donkey and to look for any new exhibits they might have added to...

Excellent museum full of local history artifacts. Logging, Native American displays are very well done. There are many events that take place here, such as steam engine demonstration, a separate museum replicating a power-house for hydroelectric power, a piece of the flume that carried logs down the mountain. If you have children, the activities for kids is very engaging. And, several times a year there are free concerts. Highly recommend...
