The Museum’s commitment to education and community outreach is reflected in its many programs and initiatives. These include workshops and classes for children and adults, lectures and presentations by local historians and scholars, and collaborations with schools and other organizations to promote the study of local history and culture. The Museum has recently changed its programming strategy to be more layered and interactive. It’s now reflective of a dynamic space where community members visit often for events and exhibits. For example, the Museum has implemented a low-cost music series to celebrate the performing arts and reach a more diverse audience. These concerts take place in the exhibition gallery so visitors can enjoy both the exhibit and the music. The Museum is committed to ensuring all ages feel welcome by hosting age-appropriate activities into its programming, such as hosting a ‘Grape Stomp’ in conjunction with an exhibit about the agriculture of grapes and the history of wine making in Solano County, having food truck nights, and coordinating with the many events put on by the Downtown Association. Sharing our local history in a way that is relevant and interesting while making the museum space accessible to all is of deep importance to the mission work.
