Antioch Historical Society Museum

What a great experience. The building is wonderfully decorated and well organized by treasures of long past. The staff are knowledgeable and professional. Shari toured a group of us through the multiple rooms on second floor. If you really want to learn about Antioch history, this is a great place to start!! Donations are also accepted.

Take a moment to check out this unique museum that showcases the history of Antioch, plus pays tribute to Antioch's talented athletes, and film and music celebrities. It's open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1pm - 4pm.

Nice place, I have to share an experience, looking at the vintage clothes and 1st and 2nd World War, rooms, I got this feeling of pain and sorrow and decided to delete the pictures I took, very sad. The building where the museum is located was the first high School of Antioch, you can leave donations entrance is free.

Its open Wednesday 12-4 and Saturdays. We went on Wednesday for a project my daughter had on native american tribes. We chose the Bay Miwok, who are native to Contra Costa County. There were several displays and historical facts and the people were most helpful. We ended the day watching a movie in the "theater." Well done small museum. Did not disappoint!

I've been to many historical small town museums, and this by far has got to be one of my favorites. Whatever it is that you're hoping to find of interest, I'm sure you'll find it here. It is diverse and well balanced, very educational, and educational in a good way... i.e.don't scare the young kids off! The docent was kind and very willing to share a wealth of information. He was much more than a virtual walking encyclopedia on the history of Antioch.:)
