HAGGIN MUSEUM
Fresh off a $2.5 million renovation! Don't miss the largest collection of commercial artist, JC Leyedecker on permanent display. Loved by generations of Stockton families, the Haggin Museum is a fine art and history museum which was referred to by Sunset magazine as “one of the under sung gems of California.” It's fine art collection features works by such noted 19th century painters as Albert Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, as well as many other American and European artists. Its history displays focus on this area’s past and the accomplishments of its residents, such as Charles Weber, Stockton’s founder; Benjamin Holt, inventor of the Caterpillar track-type tractor; and Tillie Lewis, the “Tomato Queen.” Kids will love the store replicas in the basement, the Native American exhibit and the big tractors. The museum’s permanent art and history exhibits are augmented by a number of temporary exhibitions annually. Call for current schedule.
