About the Museum
In 1992 the City of Fremont leased the Mission Fire Station to Mission Peak Heritage Foundation and The Washington Township Historical Society. The lease provides for the preservation and protection of the city's 18, 19, & 20th century heritage for the 21st century. To encourage the interest of the local citizens in Fremont's history, and to provide a place for students and enthusiasts to visit and conduct research. The building will serve both as a museum and a library for historical books and documents.
After many months of cleaning, inventory, filing and cataloguing, the members of the two historical societies began a series of meetings to formally organize a museum structure, with bylaws and a Board of Directors. Once these goals were accomplished the Board of Directors proceeded with plans to create the best little museum in Alameda County.
