About Winters Museum

The Winters Museum, operated by the Historical Society of Winters, presents exhibits exploring the region's cultural and labor history. Visitors examine displays about the Mexican Bracero Legacy, which documents the temporary labor program from 1942 to 1964 and its impact on Yolo County workers. The museum features exhibits on Winters Agriculture, the Lost Japanese Community, and Remembering Monticello, along with Charley's Backroom. Additional exhibits cover Spanish heritage and immigration stories, highlighting families who arrived from Spain and other countries and transitioned from farm laborers to business owners over multiple generations. The museum also maintains a video collection and participates in community events like the Second Saturday Art Stroll, featuring local and emerging artists. The museum suits anyone interested in local history, immigrant experiences, and agricultural heritage. Located at the corner of Russell and First Streets in downtown Winters, California, the museum sits within walking distance of restaurants, cafes, and other downtown establishments.
