Located in the Bigfoot capital of the world, the Willow Creek-China Flat Museum in Willow Creek, California is home to some of the most sought after Bigfoot casts and photos. The museum’s world renowned Bigfoot Collection even includes the original plaster cast of the Patterson film Bigfoot.
Pulling into the parking lot you will be greeted with a 25-foot-tall redwood sculpture of Bigfoot sitting in front of the small yellow building that is the museum. Inside you will find about one-third of the museum dedicated to Bigfoot, a third dedicated to Willow Creek history and the remaining third dedicated to (wait for it…) a gift shop.
In the Bigfoot area you will see numerous casts of footprints or handprints found around the Pacific Northwest and some in the Willow Creek area over the past nearly 100 years. In addition, multiple newspaper articles are displayed reporting on sightings and experiences people have had with Bigfoot. There’s also some hair samples with a letter of authenticity from a doctor who stated that the source was an ape/human. Sounds like Bigfoot may be needing some Just For Men soon. Or rather, some Just For Cryptids.
This museum is free and run by volunteers with a great range of exhibits both inside and out.
