There's a map of Lassen Volcanic National Park and a
webcam letting visitors see Lassen.
In one corner, there are interactive games where visitors guess the answer to questions about Tehama
County's resources like the fact that in 2001 there were
5,500 acres of olives in the county.
In another, visitors can learn about the first vineyards
and wineries in Tehama County and where those of
today are located.
An iPad is mounted to the wall for visitors to look up
information on and directions to places they may want
to see. Next to it is an olive tree designed by Joe Vine
of The Copy Center and Kate Gleim of House of
Design.
"The amount of visitors has increased over time due to
good signage as visitors are coming off the freeway and
the fact that we're only a block off the freeway," Bullock

an idea of where they want to visit first, some are now
coming back later to see what is available, Bullock said.
Another facet of the center is its artist's gallery that
allows local artists to have a place to have their work displayed. Winners of the Images from the Glass Eye competition will be housed until the end of October. Prior to
that, the Red Bluff Art Association was on display. Every
two months there will be a new Tehama County-oriented
display.
"North Valley Services took this building that was an
eyesore and transformed it into a beautiful, functional,
community-minded building with the hope of a ripple
effect and that it sets an example that others will follow,"
Bullock said.
More displays are in the works and the idea is that the
visitor center will always be a work in progress with
more and more of Tehama County's treasures featured,
she said. There is also an on-going bulletin board in the
center of upcoming events.
