The Military Museum of Butte County in Oroville, California, preserves and presents California’s military history through equipment and personal artifacts spanning multiple eras. Rather than focusing on a single conflict, its collection includes weapons, uniforms, supply wagons, and contextual exhibits such as one on a U.S. 7th Cavalry pursuit of Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution. Notable pieces include a 1917 Browning machine gun and a World War I infantry uniform. World War II holdings range from a 1940 M1 carbine and an English air raid siren to a 1942 M16 half-track, while Vietnam War-era artifacts include a jungle penetrator used to rescue downed pilots.
