Topics of, current exhibits include Fossils in Our Valley, The Ohlone Indians, How to Make Adobe Bricks, The Ancient Craft of the Cooper, Agriculture and Ranching, Today and Yesterday, and Dolls, Dolls, Dolls.

In addition to the traveling exhibits, the Museum, located on the Alameda County Fairgrounds, is also open to tours for school children. The Museum is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, first Saturday and third Sunday of each month from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
