This quaint and eclectic museum is full of local history and run by a knowledgeable and dedicated staff. Check out the museum's collection of letters from the Civil War, photos and newspaper clippings of the Santa Fe racetrack, clothing from the nineteenth century and more. Stop next door at the historic Vial House and see what life in the western suburbs was like in the mid 1800s. Year-round family activities include lectures, exhibits and themed celebrations (Victorian Christmas party, anyone?) so be sure to check Flagg Creek's calendar for upcoming events.
