Natural History Museum in Fremont

Add this to the list of underappreciated museums in the Silicon Valley: the Children's Natural History Museum (Fremont).

It contains: The Gordon Hall, featuring Pleistocene fossils collected in the 1940's by San Leandro schoolteacher Wesley Gordon and his grade school "boy paleontologists". There's a replica of the workshop that Gordon and the boys used. There's also a Hall of Oddities, a nature hall, a minerals and rocks display, and a small planetarium. The museum is managed by the Math Science Nucleus, a non-profit educational and research organization composed of scientists, educators and community members.

On Dec. 13, several of the 'boys', now older gentlemen, will be back attending a fundraising for the museum
