Free in Marysville
One attraction in Marysville gets you in for nothing, in the venue’s own words.
The venue says: “Admission to the Mary Aaron Museum for guided tours is free of charge.”
Marysville's attractions center on cultural and historical museums that explore the region's past. The Bok Kai Temple Museum is one of the oldest continuously operating Chinese temples in North America and the only Taoist temple in the United States with Bok Eye, the water god, as its central deity. The Chinese American Museum of Northern California preserves and presents the history of Chinese Americans in the region. The Mary Aaron Memorial Museum occupies the Warren P. These three places suit different kinds of visits. A temple museum works for a contemplative hour or two, particularly if you're drawn to religious architecture and spiritual history. A history museum focused on a specific community serves families interested in understanding local heritage and how particular immigrant groups shaped the area. A local memorial museum offers similar cultural grounding. Together, they make Marysville a destination for parents seeking to deepen their children's understanding of California's Chinese American heritage and the region's past.
