Gold Nugget Museum

Our Paradise High School Class reunion celebrated here in August of 2018. I am so grateful to have visited since the Camp Fire destroyed the building in Nov. 2018. They had an amazing collection of artifacts from european and chinese miners, and native americans. If you would like to see a smaller collection check out the Centerville museum down by the old covered bridge. Their building managed to make it and while not as extensive, still a great look at what it was like for early peoples of Butte County. I wish I had taken more photos.

Well, they pictures are not accurate. There are big plans to rebuild. Not much to see yet, however being new to Magalia, I appreciate all of the history that I learned from the lady working today. The Camp fire J hook that failed was on display . I learned a lot , it was heartbreaking and heart warming.

The museum has many future plans for rebuilding post Campfire. It's all very exciting!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

Love love love this place had so much fun while learning about the Gold country...

We had a great time learning to gold pan. I had no idea there was so much to know. The instructor was amazing. He was patient and very knowledgeable with all of us. Thanks for such a great afternoon.

HORRIBLE!! It’s so stupid that a their phone number is STILL disconnected, at least the one that is posted online, and b they aren’t open on weekends. Who the heck has the time or even WANTS to drive to paradise M-F 12-4 when kids are in school and their parents, who drive them, work?!!? Someone needs to reevaluate their priorities.

These folks need as much support as possible. Consider visiting and making a donation. It's fantastic to learn the history behind the lovely town of Paradie CA.

Great venue for anyone wanting to learn more about the local history. From stories to visuals, and a pathway through a small village, gardens, and picnic area. Throughout the tour, you will discover what the local Native American tribe learned and became accustomed to. The garden is a great way to learn more about plants and how we can use them as natural remedies. There are so many neat plants here...

I had a wonderful time and it's worth it to go. It has a lot to look at, a lot of great conversation starters, and a cute little gift shop. My favorite things were probably an old scythe, the gun collection, the barbed wire collection, a real postmark, the printing press, and old car. Remember, when you go, there is outside are, too!! I will definitely come back for Gold Nugget Days

Great way to keep history alive and teach kids more about our local community. We go a few times a year. Especially to see Santa! Best Santa trip ever Please leave ad donation tp keep the doors open.
