The Museum of the San Ramon Valley is a great place to bring kids. They always have something for the young ones and for the whole family. The community loves this place and goes regularly when they change the exhibits. It is truly a small local museum that is better than average. There are personable volunteers who will give guided tours, for a small price. The museum is located in an old train station in Danville. Exhibits change from time to time. It’s also a jumping-off point for visiting the Eugene O’Neal National Historic Site. Really an interesting little place to visit to get info on historical aspects of Danville and the valley.
Historic Train Station & Rotating Exhibits
The main building is the historic Danville Railroad station which has been completely restored. Its adjacent historic caboose features interesting exhibits and houses two very clean and well-maintained restrooms. The whole place is just fun for a visit for adults and kids. They have different exhibits that rotate, so it is an ever-changing environment that is fun for more than one visit. During special events like Totally Trains, admission is $5 for adults and $10 for a family. Little kids are free, while ages 6+ have a fee. The museum features a working model train exhibit, with running trains and informative displays. Some areas are off-limits for toddlers, making it more suited for older children.
Celebrating Local Heritage and Upcoming Exhibits
This is a nice museum with a staff who works hard to tell great stories and provide context about the history of the San Ramon Valley. Train lovers will enjoy the displays. With plenty of parking and the Iron Horse Trail right alongside, the museum celebrates and preserves the rich heritage of the San Ramon Valley. The exhibits reflect the area’s experiences and culture, with artifacts and photos portraying historical narratives. Don’t miss the September exhibit, “The First Peoples of California: Exhibition of California’s Indigenous People.”
