Nestled in the 258 acre Micke Grove Park just south of Lodi, California is the San Joaquin Historical Society and Museum. With eight large exhibit buildings packed with agricultural, Native American, pioneer and Gold Rush history, and four historic buildings including the Charles Weber Cottage dating to 1847 and the Calaveras School, 1866, it's one of the state's best historical museums.
Within the large park you'll also find the stunning Japanese Gardens, the Fun Town Amusement Park, the Micke Grove Zoo, surrounded by lots of picnic areas placed amongst stately Valley Oaks.
