Built in 1863 and restored in 1949, they offer tours and I was absolutely gutted to find that we came on a day when the temple wasn't open. We did take a look at the exterior though as well as the grounds and the setting is so peaceful and Zen. There is interesting architecture and beautiful flowers as well as some sign and monuments to see. Now that we know it's here, we will definitely make a special trip in the future to see the inside as well.

Beautiful artwork and a ton of history! I think my favorite was the costumes! Each room has its own purpose with so much information to absorb! The koi pond was a pleasant and relaxing surprise! Nice shaded courtyard as well. It's really cheap to visit and it's a great historical place in Oroville! Definitely must see!

Preston Castle Haunt - what a yearly tradition! My wife, my parents, and I have been making the…read morespooky pilgrimage for years now, and it never disappoints. You just can't beat a haunted house that takes place inside an actual haunted prison. The vibe alone gives you goosebumps before you even step inside. Add in the scare actors (who I'm convinced are local kids living their best creepy dreams), the friendly staff, and the affordable merch, and you've got the full package. This year's haunt felt longer with even more scares tucked around the corners--right up my alley! Preston keeps stepping it up, and I'm here for it. Until next year, Castle... we'll be back.

Came here for the haunted house event about a week ago and I'm not sure if I would come back again…read more Tickets were $35 each (purchased online) and you have to park and walk about 10-15 minutes to the castle or you can take the little van that drives you there which also takes the same amount of time. We took the van to the castle but they don't drop you off directly in front of the castle so you still have to walk down through security and then to the castle. Porte potty's are available right before security and once you walk up the hill to wait in line to enter the castle. There were a couple food trucks when we went, we were expecting a few based on what was said online but not sure if it depends on the time. We waited over an hour in line to enter the haunted house and if you do really believe in ghosts this place is pretty haunted. The event itself wasn't scary, the actors aren't able to touch you but there's obviously loud screaming and they may be a bit too close for comfort to get a reaction out of you. You do have to climb up and down quite a few stairs and then there's a second part lead outside and back in the castle (barely any lighting and it's a dirt road so you have to carefully walk). Many strobing lights as well so do avoid if you are triggered by that. The energy throughout the castle was not pleasant or welcoming, I was very excited for it to be over as the haunted house itself was not very good and I was mostly tired from all the walking. There's a merch truck outside at the end of the castle as well. We also decided to walk back instead of waiting for the shuttle but there absolutely no lighting and many ditches with uneven flooring so you have to be very careful. Overall experience was not my favorite and I wouldn't come back again.

I dropped in this afternoon to visit our museum in Sutter County. First off, I must commend the…read morestaff and their volunteers on all their efforts and dedication. The museum is absolutely stunning. We are so fortunate to have people in our community that are supportive of our towns diversity by proudly displaying our heritage that for centuries have held a place in Sutter County and beyond. I want to thank Daisy for walking me through, also being so inviting and welcoming me with a smile. Her knowledge and enthusiasm enhanced the experience which I appreciate. There were so many highlights today; I enjoyed the unique items from many talented crafters in the gift shop. I took some photos but I strongly encourage you to experience this yourself or with family and friends. The featured award winning talented Artist, Sarabjit Singh. Her displays are vibrant, she literally engages with her audience by telling a story of the history of Sikh's, their customs and contributions throughout history. It was very profound experience. You must come and experience it yourself. Everyone is welcomed and it's free to visit. I also encourage you to checkout their scheduled events coming up. They can be found on their yelp. @Suttercountymuseum.org

Check out this good article from VIA Magazine: http://www.viamagazine.com/top_stories/articles/chinese_museum08.asp You can see pics of Marysville Chinatown in the old days, see Brian Tom's collections of artifacts for the museum. I loved the museum special exhibition from his cousin: The Life & Times of Gordon Tom. Gordon was there and he told us about his life which is very interesting. I liked the Chinese American History in 10 Easy Steps. You can also see the remains of The Sanfow Bean Sprout Plant that provided bean sprouts all over Calif even up to Dunsmuir, CA.
