San Joaquin County Historical Museum

The San Joaquin County Historical Museum, located inside of Micke Grove Regional Park, 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. Don’t forget to visit the Gift Shop on the way out! The San Joaquin County Historical Soceity & Museum also hosts their annual Festival of Trees Christmas event that takes place each year in December.
