MuseumSRV - Danville, California

John Foster

I enjoyed learning more about the Alamo, Danville and San Ramon areas from the past. I was familiar with some history but this fills in many gaps, with its rich collection of research books you can read there.

I particularly liked reading more about Iron Horse Trail and the railroad’s history through time (in our valleys). I wonder what they’ll use our freeways and roads for when our transportation methods advance!

On display we’re the writings of women from the period of history in the early-, mid- and late-1800’s, through the turn of that century. So many people emigrated to California, to our area, from all over the world. I respect how hard people worked in those days; not much came easy!

Reading through other reviews from the past, I’m excited to get to see other exhibits from time to time.

Fun fact: there’s rope of every width jammed into the gaps in the wooden floor, probably to minimize cold air and people getting stuck in a crack! Haha!

Preserving history and the heritage of this valley is the noble cause of this museum. Currently setting up for its next exhibition of pioneer woman, there is not alot to see right now. There is on display, some Chinese New Year items. Great place to browse around, this 1891 Train Depot.

During totally trains it's 5 for adults and 10 for a family. Little kids are free and I saw 6+ had a fee. It's a nice little museum and they had a whole room set to worry a working model train exhibit. The trains were running, they had cases and exhibits with more information. There were a lot of things not to touch and I think bringing a 2 and 4 year old was a bit young, at least for the 2 year old.

This is a great little museum. WW I and Christmas temporary exhibits aside from the usual regional fascinating exhibits.

Great experience in exploring the history. The electrical model train is amazing. Kids will like watching the mini model & observe the model track. Thank you to all the volunteers and the hosts for helping with insights into the train knowledge.

A bit too small to charge an entry fee. U r paying the entry fee as a charity donation to support that building maintenance

I love history, trains and artifacts. Museum of the San Ramon Valley is a great place to bring your kids and learn about our culture. Visiting this place is a fun activity for my nieces and nephews, so this would be on my to-do list as their cool aunt. The staff here are nice and friendly too. Highly recommended museum to spend the weekend with the family.
