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.

Stephanie Taylor Pottery
Stephanie Taylor is a writer and artist based in Sacramento. She works in a variety of media, using whatever materials are most suited to the project. Stephanie is one of the co-creators of the exhibit Simple Objects: An Excavation which was on display at the Sutter County Museum in fall 2019. She has recently tried her hand at pottery, and we are excited to be carrying this work!

While we’ve carried candles from P.F. Candle Co. for a few years now, we’re excited to have their new line Sunset! “Inspired by 1970s summers in California, Sunset is a collection featuring nostalgic scents designed to capture times of day and the feelings they spark within us.”

These soaps are amazing! Handcrafted in the Sutter Buttes, they are made with fresh goat’s milk (the maker raises the goats herself!), pure essential oils, and locally grown herbs.

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.
