Explore the New Facility! The new Education Center will be opened to the public on Family Science Day on the first day of November. This building was refered to as the Johnston building and remained vacant and unfinished for many years. Through the support and generosity of many, this building can now be used to further educate the youth of our community and the surrounding areas. Special thanks to contributors See Train history come alive! Model railroading is coming to the Discovery Center this fall. A group of experienced model railroaders from the local area will be building a permanent layout inside the exhibit hall. The new exhibit intends to point out to the general public the important part railroads had in the growth and prosperity of the San Joaquin Valley, as well as the Seirra Nevada Mountains and foothills. Some of the focus points will be the part the railroads played in the area of agriculture and logging. The exhibit will also show how to build a train layout from the ground up. This will include but not be limited to clinics on how to build structures and trees, as well as running the trains. Come, enjoy, and learn. Tiles Tiles are still available for those who wish to give a full two years support. Call the Center for details. Outreach The Discovery Center takes its show on the road!
