We invite you to bring your class, or send your students, to the Museum. Our little museum is the perfect place for an intimate journey into the past. We have a new program designed to make your students’ visit interesting, engaging and fun!

Explore the Tri-City area (Fremont, Newark, and Union City) from the settlement of Washington Township through the development of our cities.

All tours include highlights of the Museum’s long-term exhibits. We currently offer two types of tours:

  • Orientation about the city/town development of the Tri-City area using aerial photos

  • Activities related to settler/early town development life, including ‘cowboy corner’, ‘washing day’, and ‘fun times’

  • Tour times: Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00am–12 noon & 12 noonm–2:00 pm, or by arrangement
