Areas of interest include: Napa County, geography, geology, Wappo Native Americans, Mexican Rancho Days, Pioneers and Settlers, Chinese, Ranching, Farming, Viticulture, Wine, Mining, Transportation, and Hot Spring Resorts. Another exhibit, "California Wine: The Science of an Art" the complete winemaking process using 26 video disc players, 9 micro computers, 24 monitors, and 11 audio speakers integrated into glowing three-dimensional panels. The electronic magic combined with music, spoken word and images in accelerated time, allow visitors to enjoy and explore at their own pace.
