Galindo Home and Gardens is a well-maintained museum in Concord, CA. The Museum was built in 1856 for Don Francisco Galindo and his wife, Maria Dolores Manuela (Pacheco) Galindo, Don Salvio’s second daughter. At that time, it was one of the few Victorian ranch houses in the county. As their oldest son, Juan “John” Galindo, and his bride, Marina “Sarah” (Amador) Galindo, brought up residence between 1875 and 1880, the original six-room house was expanded to ten rooms. In 2010, ownership was repositioned to the Concord Historical Society. The Galindo Home has been completely restored by the Concord Historical Society and now operates as the Society’s Museum. Their mission is to discover, collect, restore, preserve, and exhibit objects, materials, publications, illustrating, teaching, and accounts helpful in establishing, and promoting interest in the history of the City of Concord and its vicinity and the exploration, settlement, development, growth, progress, and activities of the City of Concord and its vicinity and population.

GALINDO HOME AND GARDENS REVIEWS
My son attended a camp here with the Concord Historical Society. The home is a treasure, as are the people preserving it and teaching our youth about its importance and value.
We took a guided tour of the inside of the house. Really fascinating peek into a very beautiful, very old home, and the lives of the family who once lived there.
New facility. A few minor kinks to work out. Work in progress. It will be great when it's finally completed.

Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial is a famous place in Concord, CA. The Memorial was established in 1992 to mark the site of the Port Chicago explosion. The Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial shuttle picks up tourists with reservations at the John Muir National Historic Site. The memorial landscape of Port Chicago is suitably stark for a site that is the final resting location for those victims un-recovered after the tragedy. All operations were halted for several weeks behind the eruption, causing a major disruption in the supply lines to the Pacific Theater, but the buildings were quickly rebuilt. Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial is an effective site with meaningful stories to tell stories suggestive of the past and resonant for the future.

PORT CHICAGO NAVAL MAGAZINE NATIONAL MEMORIAL REVIEWS
I was nine years old and we lived in Berkeley. My brother and I were supposed to be asleep but we were talking when there was this tremendous boom and we had no idea what was happening. I also remember sitting in the dark during the air raids and the First Aid Stations in people’s garages stocked with stretchers, bandages and medical supplies.
I went to the annual ceremony in remembrance is the Port Chicago disaster. It was a very somber, yet meaningful ceremony that educated on the background of the disaster. The memorial site is very pretty and well- maintained with pieces of the hull of one of the shops from the disaster. I look forward to visiting again when the visitor center is completed.
Tours are ny reservation only. This is one of the most interesting tours, but one of the least visited national parks in the USA. Well worth the visit. Must reserve 14 days in advance.

Exceptional service, enriching content, and unparalleled value for individuals on a path of self-improvement!
The librarians and workers are always helpful. I have been using this library for over 10 years and I always have a place to sit and arrange my books and materials. This Library is always busy and always has a people so not as serene as other places, but still all materials are readily accessible and people are extremely helpful. 5 stars!
I LOVE this library. Everyone here is always so helpful!! And so many amazing resources available. From adult classes to free succulent and seeds to take home and plant. Wow! Truly grateful for this and all libraries. One of the few places left that offer services to the public free of charge.
