The Hattie Weber Museum features exhibits depicting the history and heritage of Davis, California, and the surrounding area.
Thanks to John Chiles, John Movius, Steve McMahon, Yolo County Historical Society, and the Davis Virtual Market for early assistance.
The Hattie Weber has a new exhibit. "Ride a Double Decker, Save the Air" presents the history of Davis's red double-decker buses, originally purchased from England in 1967 by the Associated Students of UCD.
Learn how the students' project to create a campus/city bus service was linked to the campus liberalism of the 60s, and how that service has evolved to include environmentally friendly buses today.
The Hattie Weber has an exhibit in the Yolo County Fair Museum, "UCD's Beginnings: The University Farm." The Farm, an extension of Berkley's Department of Agriculture, was awarded to Davisville (today's Davis) in 1906. The exhibit presents images and objects from the early period of the Farm's history, 1907-'21. It will be open throughout the fair and on announced occasions during the coming year.
Operated by the Yolo County Historical Society for the City of Davis
