HAGGIN MUSEUM
Loved by generations of Stockton families, the Haggin Museum is a fine art and history museum which was referred to by Sunset magazine as “one of the under sung gems of California.” Its fine art collection features works by such noted 19th century painters as Albert Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, as well as many other American and European artists. Its history displays focus on this area’s past and the accomplishments of its residents, such as Charles Weber, Stockton’s founder; Benjamin Holt, inventor of the Caterpillar track-type tractor; and Tillie Lewis, the “Tomato Queen.” Kids will love the store replicas in the basement, the Native American exhibit and the big tractors. And be sure not to miss the mummy!
The museum’s permanent art and history exhibits are augmented by a number of temporary exhibitions annually. After 20 years of showing on Catalina Island and in Lake Tahoe, the Plein-Air Painters of America will hold their 2007 Exhibition & Sale at the Haggin Museum October 21st, 2007-January 6th, 2008. This year’s theme, From the Heart, inspired the participants to communicate cherished moments through paint on canvas and paper. The Museum also host’s Special events, such as family programs, lectures, and musical performances, that are held throughout the year. Docent led tours are available for any size group. Tip: The park (Victory Park) surrounding the museum is also a great place for a picnic!
DOWNTOWN STOCKTON HISTORIC TOURS
Downtown Stockton offers a variety of rich dining options as well as streets lined with some of Stockton’s finest architecture. Two historic gems in Downtown Stockton are “The (Hotel) Stockton” and the Bob Hope (Fox) Theatre. The Stockton is a recently renovated Historic hotel built in the 1920’s. Lobby tours are available and also highlight a mini-exhibit featuring excavated artifacts for the former Chinese Laundry near the site. Continuing your journey through the historic downtown brings you to the remarkable Bob Hope Theatre. In 2004, with an $8.5 million renovation complete, the Bob Hope Theatre was restored to its grandeur as when it was built in 1930. The theatre is listed on the National Register of Historical Places, and today it is host to a variety of entertainment acts. Tours can be arranged and group rates are available for performances.

Since June, Delta River Cruises are back on the San Joaquin Delta. Launch from Downtown Stockton and Cruise the Delta on the “Princess of Whales” a 149 passenger power catamaran which features two decks, a full galley with a tasty menu and a full bar. Learn about the Port of Stockton, the tugs and ships of today that you’ll see, as well as the colorful captains and vessels of the past who plied these waters. The Delta River Cruise is offering a wide variety of cruises from Stockton including one and a half hour sightseeing cruises, brunch cruises, dinner cruises and sunset cruises. You may also cruise from San Francisco to Stockton on specially scheduled weekends. Cruises can be catered to meet the needs of any group.
CULTURAL GEMS
Stockton is an ethnically diverse community rich in restaurants and markets from all over the world. One recent addition to the Stockton cultural scene is the statues at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple, recently featured on an episode of Huell Howser’s “Road Trip.” These statues which tell the story of their Buddha, were all hand carved and painted by the local Cambodian community. The colorful and jewel encrusted beauties range from a few feet tall to nearly 20 feet, including a lying Buddha nearly 50 feet long! Groups are welcome to stop by and visit and learn about the culture and history of the Cambodian community.
