History can be messy, and sometimes even uncomfortable, but it’s important. Learning about the past helps us understand and situate ourselves in the present. Incorporating multiple voices and perspectives only furthers and enriches the story, making us more empathetic to the plight of others and giving us a well-rounded and accurate picture of the past.
Hopefully, you have had a chance to see one of our permanent exhibitions focused on two of our local icons: Shasta Dam and Sundial Bridge. These two structures offer an architectural snapshot of our rich history and our relationship with water.
