Firehouse No. 1 Museum – The Firehouse No. 1, built in 1861, was a functioning firehouse for almost 100 years. Today the museum houses artifacts from the Donner Parts (the groups that didn't quite make it through the mountain passes one winter), a Maidu Indian display, and a Joss House (chinese temple) made in China in the 1870's, antique guns and a narrow gauge trail model.
