Customer Review
This is how museums should be. Focused on teaching kids about topics, in this case geology and the life on Earth, with details about the local area. Shows like the planetarium and the high voltage exhibit are extremely interesting and keep the attention up. It is clear the volunteers put a lot of effort and create a number of custom devices to enhance the experience. A true gem.

The Museum of Local History showcases life in the Tri-City area when it was farming and ranching community and then changed to a suburban community. Visitors discover how the families who moved here lived, worked, and established a thriving small-town community. The Mission San Jose Fire District built the museum building in 1954. The local people raised money, bought the property, and erected the building.
Fantastic experience here! Wonderful tour guide and great history inside. In the main firehouse room, there is so much packed in a small space! We spent about 45 min to an hour here and it was great!
