While I wouldn't think Stockton had much to offer, this museum has some great works of art and plenty to see. Would recommend seeing it if you have a few hours.

The museum is located in a nice park with lakes and lots of ducks. There is a large amount of western and U.S. art going back 200 years, California art and historical displays. One section is devoted to the local history.

I have driven up / down highway #5 dozens of times over the years and never stopped in Stockton. This is a very nice little museum. Certainly didn't expect to see a Gauguin or Renoir but that isn't the reason to stop. Some good artists painting California natural subnets; the displays about Stockton history are good and the recreations of historic rooms like a school room; bar; herbalist shop; etc are really nice. The building is terrific as well. Go Stockton!

Interesting museum and certainly glad we stopped for a couple of hours to check it out. Mixed exhibits of paintings and antiques. Staff of volunteers was very helpful. The location, a city park, put your parking options on the street with a short walk to the museum. The building is both a typical museum high ceilings spaces but has some interesting use of the basement area for both the gift shop and some older pieces of Americana. Recommended.

We stayed overnight in Stockton on our way South. The Haggin wa a great find. Lots of all kinds of stuff from a good collection of fine art to old huge farm equipment . Great building in a large park. Something for everyone, including kids. Clearly the highlight of Stockton.

The Haggin covers local history and culture well, but it's also got an impressive cache of major international artworks. In addition to the largest museum collection of pieces by seminal 20th century commercial artist JC Leyendecker, it possesses works by Gaugin, Renoir, and Albert Bierstadt, among others. The Haggin also hosts visiting exhibits and community events, so there's always something new to enjoy among your old favorites.

To begin, The Haggin is easy to find being just off the main road Pershing Ave. It is set in a large park area. The day we went there were families enjoying the park, playing soccer and people walking their dogs. There is a rose garden that I think will be beautiful in the spring, granted it is small and a duck pond in the front that kids would most likely enjoy. The inside of the museum is very neat. If you go the first Saturday of the month admission is free ( $8 regular) and the exhibits change throughout the year. Right now the main exhibit is the superhero collection. They have a lot of older paintings from the 1800's upstairs that are very beautiful and downstairs you can see shopfronts that are set up to represent oldtime shops. We saw a Chinese herbalist shop, an old barber shop and a sundries shop that seemed pretty authentic to me. They also had old swords, a collection of old-time guns, a Native American section with clothing and baskets and of course, a gift shop. Plan to spend at least an hour here.

The local history is great, and it boasts a wonderful art collection! I love the location in a park by a pond. I grew up going to this museum, and it never disappoints. Now if only the local riff raft would keep the park as clean as they used to maybe it lead more folks to patronize the Haggin.

The Haggin has so many interesting exhibits. From artworks to old tractors! I love the down stair where're they have recreated an old town.

The Haggin Museum is a great place to appreciate art; learn about California history; and attend special Thurday evening events twice a month--all for a reasonable entrance fee. It's located in a beautiful park with a rose Gardena, duck pong and playground equipment! A great place for a pinic and a family gatherings!
