The Chinese American Museum of Northern California features photographs and artifacts from Marysville's Chinatown, which was once the secod-largest Chinatown in the United States. It showcases the contributions of the Chinese-American Community to Northern California history. The museum is located in a building that was constructed in 1858. It is at the corner of the intersection where bombs have been set off on Bomb Day for more than a century.
