Such a delightful tour with a lovely gentleman and lady as our guides. I learned so much about Walnut Creek’s history and life in the 1890s–1920s. The display of old-time tools and icons was especially captivating, quiet reminders of how people once lived. A truly worthwhile stop

My daughter went there on her field trip it was cool when she learned that how butter was made.I also recommend not touching the dishes made out of uranium but she said it was amazing how that house was made over 100 years ago! Lastly she got to taste ice cream!
