𝐆 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 "𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐎𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞" 🏛️🚗 History, nature, and agriculture are the beating heart of Oroville, and all are on display in the Greenline Tour. The 15-mile driving tour, following a painted green line across town from the Feather River to Lake Oroville, covers the major aspects that make Oroville what it is. Area residents might know Oroville as a Gold Rush boomtown, but even the most studious locals can appreciate this comprehensive living history trip. And visitors may be shocked to see how much historical significance this corner of the state holds. How long the tour takes is up to you. You’ll appreciate that freedom at Riverbend Park; you can launch a boat, hit the playground, play disc golf, or venture into one of several hiking trails. If you’ve got all day, you could spend much of it recreating here and Bedrock Park. Otherwise, move on to Oroville’s ample museum scene, which includes the CF Lott Home, dating back to 1856, and the Chinese Temple. An official California landmark, it highlights Chinese contributions to the North State. There’s also Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum, a one-of-a-kind, 12,000-hand tool collection. Move next through Centennial Plaza, where you’ll take in a killer view of the Feather River. Next up are visits to the Ehmann Home (a pivotal contributor to California’s immense olive industry), and the @orovillestatetheatre, which has stood for nearly a century. The Pioneer History Museum caps off the historical part of the tour before crossing the Greenline Bridge and giving way to some breathtaking nature. The @feather.river.nature.center sits on the site of a former Maidu fishing village. Across the river is the Feather River Fish Hatchery, which serves as a waystation for steelhead and Chinook salmon and allows visitors to check out the migration with underwater windows. Finally, a trip to the top of the Oroville Dam—America’s tallest—and a drop-in at the lake’s Visitor Center, complete with its incredible viewing tower, round out the tour. A town as rich in history as Oroville can’t possibly be fully experienced in a day, of course. But the Greenline Tour gets pretty darn close.

The front view is very deceptive. The museum is a large 2 story building with many diverse exhibits. A must see museum. Florence Danforth Boyle's dream come true. Cheap at $3.00 admission.
