So many things to see. Great place to take kids or anyone interested in history. Will be going back.
Nice small place. I wish someone was actually there when I went, since I had a few questions.
Located inside Micke Grove Park, I went here for a school Art event. I’ve been to Micke Grove a few times & never realized this museum was on the property. Our event was after hours & school sponsored so we didn’t pay to enter park or museum. Park & museum fees will apply. This is a really cute area that would be great for receptions, pictures. Minimal to no real information is available to public unless you become a member. Not sure how this is a San Joaquin County Park Museum with manicured landscape, minimal public access, while the main picnic areas in Micke Grove are not maintained.
In all my years of visiting Micke's Grove Park, I've never been to the museum. It was bigger than I expected, with many new and historic buildings. The grounds are beautiful, well kept, and clean. I definitely recommend visiting.
I volunteered to run a station here for my son's class and this was the only picture I took. It's amazing to have had the opportunity to go and learn about the rich history we have right here in San Joaquin Valley. The volunteer staff here were so friendly and helpful. They do such a great job at keeping everything here in pristine condition for the kids and everyone who wants to go check out and enjoy. If you are visiting Micke Grove Park and have some extra time, make sure to stop by. There is a small entry fee to help out with upkeep.
