    A lovely place to learn more about the community of Fremont. Friendly volunteers are happy to add stories about the history of the area. I have lived in the Bay area all my life and in Fremont the last 25 years, and I was surprised by some of the history I saw there that I had not known about.

    Small and cozy. There were a group of volunteers there doing orientation. For East Bay locals this is a fabulous resource for local history. It was fascinating learning about the early residences who the streets were named... Mowry, Stevenson, etc.

  • 3/5 Jason Melo H. 3 years ago on Google
    Some interesting local history of the area. The display room is crowded and small and a decent amount of the stuff are simply antiques but are not related specifically to Fremont. The staff is very friendly.

  • 3/5 Kevin L. 2 years ago on Google
    It was nice and quiet . Nice art works . Really creative . Loved the inside of it . Didn't go to infinitely room bc one has to go there in the am to reserve in person then come back for the pm to go in . Ridiculous . Very very cool art piece on the outside of the museum too . Would come again for the room .
