The Golden Valley History Museum features stories about the city's heritage in an exhibit titled
"No Place Like Home". More than 20 displays tell stories about the city from pre-historic times to today. The exhibits are linked by the five main themes of community, human rights, home, economy, and power.
Popular displays include stories about the Ewald Bros. Dairy, Golden Valley High School, and the Golden Valley Garden Club. There's even a special station where visitors can dress up like a Golden Valley firefighter.
Golden Valley High School students form a “GV” on the football field, late 1970s.
