Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum honors our location and our history.. Justin Sisson started the Mt. Shasta Fish Hatchery and he was one of the town’s fathers. Mt. Shasta is our geographic location. Come to the museum and learn about both!
Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum is a self-supported, volunteer operated museum with a 501(c)(3) tax status. The museum’s mission is to assist in “Illuminating the past, present, and future of the Mount Shasta Region.” To fulfill this mission, the museum houses exhibits on the history and science related to Mt. Shasta and the surrounding areas.
The Mt. Shasta Museum Association Inc. formed when a surplus State Fish Hatchery building became available as a possible community museum. An outpouring of support enabled the Sisson Museum to open on July 4, 1983 in the newly renovated building, sharing the same property as the oldest fish hatchery west of the Mississippi River.
Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum consists of three large exhibit halls and an events room for special activities and displays. The museum sparks the vitality of the community by hosting, in the events room, art shows, quilt exhibits, music, drama, and dance performances, lectures, meetings, and annual History Nights. The Events Room is available for use by organizations. Contact us by email at *protected email* for more details.
