It will be a place to promote the history of the fair and the county – its Indigenous peoples, natural resources, agriculture, commerce, culture and youth programs. The groups interested in launching this venture are the Yolo County Historical Society (YCHS), Woodland Parlor 30 Native Sons of the Golden West (NSGW), Historical Society of Winters (Winters Museum), Woodland Opera House, Friends of the Yolo County Archives, Woodland Museum of Biblical Archaeology, West Sacramento Historical Society, Greater Capay Valley Historical Society, Friends of the 1883 Clarksburg Schoolhouse, Yolo County Fair Heritage Foundation, and Union Church of Dunnigan (Dunnigan Museum). Other historical groups in Yolo County are invited to participate.

The groups will work together to organize historical information, artifacts and display items that represent areas of interest and expertise in the spirit and traditions of the county fair ideal. The museum will complement the historic Spring Lake School (at the fairgrounds since 1950), the Spring Lake Fire Department (Station 2-1/2), the Blowers olive orchard and the historical site of the Blowers Ranch house. The museum is planned as a multipurpose facility – adaptable for regular exhibitions, school tours, meetings, lectures, events, agency briefing or as a classroom.
