Store

New Arrivals

The Museum Store is one of the few stores in Yuba City that 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.

The Museum, including the store, is closed to the public per the California State COVID-19 Guidelines for Museums. However, as it is the season for holiday shopping, we are trying to make our merchandise available to you in a way that is safe and easy.

Below are photos showing quite a bit of the merchandise in our store. If you are interested in purchasing some of the items pictured (or want further information on some items), please contact us. For each item you are interested in, make sure to include the photo number and a description of what the item is (ie Photo 15, second row down, third pair of earrings from the right- light blue origami dragon). We will get back to you regarding availability of each item- a fair portion of our merchandise is handmade and one-of-a-kind.

We are offering scheduled curbside pick-up, or delivery if you are in Yuba City or Marysville. We can accept credit cards over the phone, or payment by check at drop off/pick-up.

If you are looking for something that you have seen in our store in the past but do not see pictured, please let us know! As it was impossible to capture every piece of merchandise in the photos, we may have what you are looking for.

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.
