Bidwell Mansion: Traveler Reviews
Chico was founded in the late 1800's by John and Annie Bidwell. Their home, located near downtown, is one of several historical homes of the era that has been preserved and restored. The Bidwell Mansion is a museum and tours are available taking you back in time to when Chico was nothing more than a pioneer town.
Tours & Tickets: Every hour on the hour, lasting approximately 50 minutes, $2 US. Group tours also available, call for a reservation.I'm not a history-buff but I still was amazed at what I got to see on the Tour. The guide (docent?) was very knowledgeable & shared tidbits of interesting info to make the Bidwells "real" people
