History and Support

The Museum was established in 1975, funded by Howard and Norma Harter, the Sutter County Historical Society, and other private donors, and was gifted to the Sutter County Board of Supervisors as a community asset. It has since been expanded multiple times through the generosity of private donors. The Museum is a department of Sutter County and receives additional support from the Museum Association, a 501(c)(3) organization.
