Mangini Agricultural Museum

The Mangini Agricultural Museum opened at the county fairgrounds in Antioch in the summer of 1998. The Fair Board named the building in honor of Louis Mangini, for his service to the Fair and the Contra Costa community.

The days when Contra Costa County was mostly farms and ranches are gone, but important elements of our agricultural past are being preserved at the museum. After completion of the museum and additional fundraising, a classroom and garden were added and an educational program began in 2003.
