CFHI operates two museums in the state of California.
Much of the documents, artifacts, photographs, patterns, and castings we have archived can be viewed at these facilities.

CALIFORNIA FOUNDRY HISTORY MUSEUM- SACRAMENTO, is housed at Technikon, LLC facility--5301 Price Ave.-- in McClellan Park (Sacramento, CA). Technikon is a full-functioning modern foundry specializing in metal casting research. The museum includes a wide variety of beautifully displayed photos and written history dating back 150 years to the Gold Rush, the beginning of our state's rich foundry history. The museum offers a wealth of visual displays and information about the casting process, general California foundry history, and casting uses in transportation, defense, water control, and recycling.
