Travis Air Force Base Heritage Center Indoor and outdoor displays of aircraft and Air Force memorabilia help tell the story of Travis Air Force Base. Admission is free and guided tours are available for large groups. This city's roots go to the Gold Rush, when a wharf was established on the Sacramento River to handle prospectors' supplies being ferried by river steamer. The people who followed and settled Rio Vista were, for the most part, farmers. Its newest exhibit includes a 1923 tractor.
Admission is free.
Dutra Museum of Dredging To the east of Solano County, thousands of acres of fertile farmland lie in the middle of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Similar dredges are still used today. Members of the Dutra family in Rio Vista have dredged in the delta for more than a century and have amassed materials that depict the history of this work. Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum Located in a former city hall at 734 Marin St., the museum spotlights the history of Vallejo, Mare Island and the Carquinez Strait. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
