A little bit of factoid.  The first World’s Fair was held in 1853 at the Crystal Palace exhibition in New York and the last being in1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee.  World’s Fairs have emphasized the technological, cultural and political advances that form the American society we enjoy today.

Dates: November 18, 2010 – February 6, 2011

While it is impossible for the museum to highlight all of the many patents that have been held by Stocktonians over the past 150 years, they will be accessible via a searchable database. Using search criteria such as the inventor’s name, the date the patent was awarded, its title or a general descriptive phrase, museum visitors will be able to view patents for everything from tomato harvesters to horse pacifiers.

Many Stockton inventors operated independently, creating in the privacy of their home or shop. Others worked for some of the city’s major manufacturing concerns such as the Holt Manufacturing.

Weber Street which is across the street from the new Stockton Marina in downtown Stockton.

The museum features hands-on, play-based exhibits that will enhance a child’s understanding of how the world works.  There are fire trucks,  banks, a grocery store, and many other child-size businesses which create a small city.  It is a great place for the kids to play and pretend to be grownups in different types of jobs.

The Children’s Museum is a great place to have birthday parties!  When my son was younger we hosted a party there and it turned out great.  The kids had a lot of exploring all the different exhibits and the birthday cake of course.

General Admission to the museum is $5 .  The museum has a membership package too, which may be great for folks who have a large family or are planning on holding a party at the museum.

SUMMER HOURS:

Mon – Fri: 9am – 4pm

Sat: 9am – 5 pm

This annual event will be sure to please its guest again this year.

The wine, beer, and food tasting event will kick off the 3 new exhibits.   The Haggin was kind enough to let me in to give me a sneak peak of the 3 exhibits.  Watch the video below to get your sneak peak of these fabulous exhibits.


  • Returning to the Haggin is the J.C. Leyendecker exhibit.  J.C. Leyendecker is know as America’s “other” Illustrator opposite of Norman Rockwell.  J.C. Leyendecker was arguably the nation’s most popular commercial artistsin the early part of the 20th century.  Much of his work was done for the Saturday Evening Post.  He was greatly admired by Norman Rockwell who’s art became popular among millions of Americans.  I didn’t know who J.C. Leynedecker was but I sure did recognize his work.  His illustrations will be displayed at the Haggin Museum starting Thursday the 20th.

  • Also opening the 20th of May, is the California Impressionism painting exhibit.  All paintings are captured under the Californian sunshine and feature landscapes from around the state.  59 paintings from the Irvine Museum will be on hand for the public to view.  Get a peek in the video below.
  • Finally, the Bustles & Balustrades exhibit will be shown in the 2nd floor of the Haggin Museum.  It is an exhibit which will bring the Victorian clothing of 19th century women and architecture of the homes together.  Vignettes featuring clothing and objects from the museum’s collections rarely seen by the public will be on display throughout the gallery.  This exhibit will be on display thorough August 15, 2010.
