OUR MUSEUM ADDITION & RENOVATION PROJECT

With a goal to raise and manage funds for the expansion, preservation, exhibition and interpretation of the Museum’s Historic Collection for public use and for scholarly research, the Dutra family is proud to chronicle their work in the California Delta and beyond, since 1878 and share to it with the world. With the help of donations from supporters like you, we will be able to continue to educate our visitors on the development of the side-draft clamshell dredge and marine construction. The Dutra Museum Addition & Renovation Project will provide additional space for our growing Historic Collection and create enhanced event capacity. Your support will help Dutra’s rich history while creating a welcoming space to share for years to come. 

PRESERVING OUR LEGACY.  BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.

MORE ABOUT THE MUSEUM:

The Dutra Museum of Dredging was created in Rio Vista, California in 1978 by Edward and Deolinda Dutra in a beautiful 1907 Craftsman house to showcase the Dutra Historic Collection and educate our visitors. This is a private collection of materials representing the history of side-draft clamshell dredging and the important role the Dutra family has played since 1878 in reclaiming the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, San Francisco Bay and beyond. It includes photographs, logbooks, dredge models, linen drawings, artifacts and a family history mural painted by renowned Delta artist Marty Stanley. With a goal to raise and manage funds for the expansion, preservation, exhibition and interpretation of our collection for public use and scholarly research, the Dutra family is proud to chronicle this period in California’s history and share it with the world.
