The San Joaquin County Historical Museum reveals the fascinating history of the region, from the Yokuts and Miwok through Captain Charles Weber (founder of Stockton and first farmer in the area) and the development of modern agriculture. The Museum has eight exhibition buildings, four historic buildings — including the Charles Weber cottage (1847) and Calaveras School (1866) — and features room dioramas of Weber family furnishings, a children’s gallery, and large displays of hand tools and agricultural equipment.
What's HappeningThe "Good Manners: Everyday Etiquette Past & Present" exhibitition takes a look at the etiquette of everyday life by comparing the rules of the past with the present. The exhibition focuses on four areas of American life: table manners, manners at work, manners out and about, and entertaining at home. San Joaquin County artifacts in the exhibit include men’s and women’s clothing, a late 1920s telephone, calling cards, fine china and silverware, and books on etiquette. The exhibition was initially developed by the Hayward Area Historical Society and has been made available through the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA).
