    Amazing place to stop in for a visit! Took five "kids" 6-19 they all loved something about the visit. Two planes kids can sit in. AMAZING docents really took time to talk about as much as your wanted. They are currently working on a space station area will return to check that out

    Definitely a nice place to drop in and check out some static displays. The first thing you see when you enter is the Antonov An-2, an imposing Soviet bi-plane from the late 40's. As someone who grew up during the Cold War, I always like to find aging Soviet relics. Also, kudos to the Chico Air Museum for managing to get their hands on an F-15. I haven't seen one up close in years and am reminded that it is still a magnificent aircraft. Give them a couple bucks on the way out, donations are appreciated.

    This is a lovely, well-preserved Italianate Victorian home in downtown Chico which was donated to…read morebe preserved as a museum. Chico is lucky to have such a place as this, in addition to the very historic (and much larger) Bidwell Mansion. Unlike Bidwell, this is not a particularly important historic place in of itself, but simply a very nice, sizeable house of a local physician. There are many such houses in many towns and cities throughout California, but this is unusual because it has been preserved in basically original condition with only some small alterations which the family made made over the years, and because it is no longer a private home but open to the public. It was built by a physician and his wife who were not especially wealthy, but who were prominent locals at the time and who had inherited some money which they used to build a very nice house. One gets to see how they lived, and both how they were able to build a very nice house with modern amenities for the time, as well as how they were able to cut costs while still making the house look lavish. It includes the original stove, plus a newer stove added much later, the original wallpaper, furniture, lovely home-made blanket, and more. They also found pieces of some of the old wallpaper from the building which were left over and still in original condition, showing how the paper on the walls has changed colour over time due to fading and smoke. The house even includes a book with information on the items in the house which Mrs. Stansbury kept. It is a wonderful opportunity for people to see how people lived in such houses in the past, has many original items, furniture, and other family belongings. It includes Dr. Stansbury's medical office and medical equipment, also interesting. One can visit it on the weekends with a guided tour. The docent we had showed us every part of the house and we were the only ones there at the time. She provided a lot of information about the house and the history of the family. We spent about an hour there. It is definitely a local treasure and well worth a look.

    This Italianate Victorian home has many original pieces to tell the story of Dr. Oscar and Libbie…read moreStansbury and their daughter Angeline. Located on the corner of Fifth and Salem in Chico, CA is listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. What is most priceless is the docent named John ,who used to live there. He was such a great fact checker and story teller that he brought it all alive . Worth my time! RESOURCE:http://www.stansburyhome.org/history-of-the-stansbury-home.html

    Beautiful, small art shop located in the corner…read more My friend took me here because he loves the artist who puts famous buildings and photoshops it in the middle of no where - really great concept! The employee that approached that was very friendly. She explained to us about the artist and how he was able to do it. After looking at that artwork, we looked around the store and found some really interesting place. I found this shop more interesting than most museums, to be honest.

    I picked up some great photographs by a local artist here over the weekend. The items I selected…read morewere on consignment and were surprisingly inexpensive, though I felt like the prices on the other items in the gallery were marked up a bit high, but that seems to be part of a larger trend evident at galleries all over the place, so I can't really fault them for that. They seemed to have a large selection of work by local artists which I think is fantastic. The glass art that was on display was gorgeous, even if they did have quite a few glass pumpkins mixed in there. I'll be the first to admit, I do not get the whole glass pumpkin thing, they are everywhere! Do that many people really like pumpkins? Or are there just that many women running around with Cinderella complexes? Anyway, they had several (non-squash) pieces that I would've loved to have come home with. Maybe next time. The staff at the gallery was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. I would definitely check them out again.
