About the Museum

The Becoming American Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Punjabi and South Asian pioneers who journeyed to America in search of opportunity and freedom. Located in Yuba City, California - home to one of the oldest Punjabi communities in the United States - our museum tells the stories of courage, perseverance, and contribution that shaped both local communities and the nation.

Through carefully curated exhibits, historical photographs, personal artifacts, and oral histories, we bridge the past and present, ensuring these important stories are preserved for future generations. Our mission is to educate, inspire, and foster understanding of the Punjabi American experience.
