As you are heading north on the 5 freeway from the Sacramento area, you are going to run into the town of Oroville.
Now this town may be famous for having the dam that holds back enough water for all of California, but Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum is a must-see travel stop here in California.
Meet BUD!
The owner and creator of Bolt’s Antique Tool Museum and this family-run business in Oroville, California.
What a hoot he is! All through our visit Bud would tell joke after joke, you couldn’t help but love him!
He shared with us all the stories about how he got started in the tool business and began collecting tools in his garage.
With the urging of his wife and family (once the collection began to take over the home) and with the help of the city, he opened this fantastic museum that literally displays tools of ALL types.
He now has over 20,000 tools to display and they are easily organized by industry.
Gear heads unite!
