At the Donald J. Rivers Interpretive Center, aka "The Barn," children from the Fallbrook Home School Academy tried their hands at the controls of a Gibson tractor like those used on farms in Fallbrook's agricultural past.

Inside the main museum, Fallbrook Home School Academy students saw a wide range of exhibits highlighting Native American artifacts, the railroad history of Fallbrook and De Luz, firefighting equipment, civic and church groups and local school life.
