Did you know that the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum preserves and exhibits the diverse and exciting history of the City of Vallejo and the former U.S. Naval Shipyard at Mare Island? The Museum is located in Vallejo's historic Old City Hall and features five galleries devoted to community and U.S. Navy history.
Did you know that Vallejo's Mare Island was originally only about 900 acres? Today it is approximately 5,600 acres. The additional land was created by the Navy through filling of San Pablo Bay to the west and north, the Napa River/Mare Island Strait to the north and east and the Carquinez and Mare Island Straits to the south and east.
