Description:

The Shasta College Museum and Research Center was initiated by a group of interested faculty in 1968. In 1972-73 a museum building was erected on campus. This building is a replica of the adobe house of Pierson B. Reading, Shasta County's first known permanent white settler. The museum property is surrounded by an outside display area featuring aspects of northern California history. Many people over the years have put their trust, support, and energy into the museum, in addition to making many valuable donations. As a result, the museum has grown into what it is today, with artifacts from many facets of the history of northern California, particular Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity counties, the area served by this joint community college district.


The museum is open to the public from
10:00am to 2:00pm
on Tuesday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's,
or by appointment.
