Washington Township Museum of Local History (Fremont, California)

[1][2] The Washington Township was created in 1853 from the southwestern part of Alameda County.

For many decades, Washington Township consisted of agricultural fields dotted with eight towns, many now part of Fremont and some with local historians publishing their stories.

[6] The historical collection of Dr. Robert Fisher found a home here, which includes local record books, documents and 7500 photographs.

It served as a fire station until 1994, then was remodeled and leased to the Mission Peak Heritage Foundation and The Washington Township Historical Society for use as a museum.

[10] Walking tours explore local history from the settlement of Washington Township through the development of the Tri-cities: Fremont, Newark and Union City.
