Spend some time at the Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum which chronicles the long history of Tiburon in the maritime and railroad industries. Inside, study the detailed model of how Tiburon looked in 1900 and upstairs, check out the meticulous restoration work that has been done. If you head over to Angel Island, don’t miss the Immigration Station which served as the immigration facility of the US on the West Coast from 1910-1940.
A trip to Sausalito to visit the US Army Corps of Engineers Bay Model Visitor Center is also recommended. You’ll get to see a working hydraulic scale model of the Bay area and the river system. There are also ongoing exhibitions and events to enjoy. Before leaving Tiburon, stop by at Richardson Bay Audubon Center. Learn about the wildlife and if you can spare some time, volunteer to survey and classify birds. There are also training programs and summer camps for kids on ecology and nature as well as organized bird walks.
