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.
