Explore the Shop
The Museum Gift Shop carries a great selection of gift items and books. Many of the items in the store are handmade by artisans up and down the West Coast, with an emphasis on California-made. You can find greeting cards, postcards, and stationery; jewelry; and home goods such as dish towels, coasters, pottery, and wooden boards. We offer a large selection of books on local and California history and children's books, toys, and baby teethers. As a small store, we carry limited quantities and many one-of-a-kind items, so there is always something new and unique to discover!
The Gift Shop has the same public hours as the Sutter County Museum: Wednesdays-Fridays from 9am to 5pm and Saturdays from 12-4pm.

Children's Corner
We carry a variety of children's items, including books, toys, craft kits, teethers and more. Our children's book selection is particularly good, with books on different cultures (with a focus on cultures represented by minority communities in the area), California History appropriate for varying age groups, and what life was like for children in different eras. Toys represent animals found in the region, and toys and games children of decades past would have played with. Our baby items are Made in the USA of all natural, kid-friendly materials.
