There were lots of historical artifacts of the Fremont locations and bios of its inhabitants. This local history museum helps you visualize the old days. Buggies, cobbler tools, fossils, computer systems, phones ... a bit of daily life from the past. The museum also includes the history of Worlds of Wonder and Teddy Ruxpin! It is a little room with several sections by topic.
One of my favorites was the When I was Growing Up Exhibit. This display includes a range of historical artifacts varying from the 19th century through the 20th century. The School Days Exhibit contains items about earlier schools in the area.Growing and Raising Food Exhibit is about the farming and gardening of times past. The Mission and Rancho Days should not be missed.
