Welcome! Do visit us to learn more about our area at our museum, built in 1911 to serve as Williams High School, graduating class from 1912 - 1956. Some alumni include jazz musician Turk Murphy, of San Francisco's - Earthquake McGoon's Fame, Kenneth Zumwalt, editor of Stars & Stripes military publication during WWII & the Fouch Family Pharmacists, who served our community for over a century.

 In 1963 this lovely building transitioned into an impressive regional museum full of special exhibits in a most unique setting, a true step back into time, featuring late 19th and early 20th century local memorabilia.

Colusa County, with Williams its center, is in the middle of the Sacramento Valley, the northern end of the agricultural bounty of the Great Central Valley that is drained by the Sacramento River. Here grizzly bears used to roam and several native tribes thrived on Salmon, deer, waterfowl and acorns. Our area is still a popular hunting, fishing, bird watching and outdoor recreation destination.
