The Alta Schmidt House Museum is a historic house museum located in Orland, California. The museum is housed in a beautiful Victorian-style home built in 1898 by W.C. Swain for his family. The house was later purchased by Alta Schmidt in 1919 and was lived in by her until her death in 1975. In 1981, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was later purchased by the Orland Historical and Cultural Society.
