The Best Places To See in Fremont

We visited the museum for a tour, and enjoyed it so much that we returned to celebrate Baby Peggy's 99th birthday! Seriously, she was there in person! One of my favorite silent film stars, and probably the last major silent film star around. What a great time! We had cake, punch, and of course, Baby Peggy films accompanied by a fantastic pianist! Wish I'd known of this place sooner. We'll go back for sure! The gift shop is pretty cool, too. It's really big. Realize that this is not just a museum; it's the site of silent filmmaking and has all the memorabilia you could ask to see. If you're a silent film fan, check it out!

This museum is a hidden gem. Must have passed by thousands of times but only knew about it today because my girl was looking for nearby attractions on the gps. We ended up spending a good amount of time going through the artifacts and displays. It's small, but there is a lot to take in. Most of the exhibits are hands on and kid friendly, but we were the only ones there today. Stuart, the man on duty when we arrived, was a great host and a wealth of information. I stumped him by asking about an exhibit that refers to the Washington Huskers, so he pulled out some yearbooks from the 1920's and could find no Huskers references.

Great field trip experience for our 2nd grade class! Hands-on and open exhibits lets the kids really get up close. There are many do not touch , but obviously for good reason. There was an instructional part of the visit and then a self guided tour of the museum. The hands-on activities are plenty fun and educational. Must suggest to your elementary schools! There's also a great gift shop for souvenirs and educational purpose too.
