Museum of History, Benicia - Arsenal Galleries — Attraction in Benicia

There was an event today advertising a main lobster food truck and music, i just wanted to get the food and that was it. Arrived and apparently you needed to purchase a concert ticket which was not mentioned on the Facebook event. I started talking to one of the ladies at the front and she said when the event started then maybe I could but the 2nd one came up while I was talking to the 1st and said can't come in without a ticket, this is a fundraiser. I then showed her the event on the Facebook page in hopes to just get the food and leave but in middiscussion she went to the next person in line and ignored me. I felt so ignored and disrespected. If you told me no that would be ok and respected but just ignoring me like I am no one really hurt my feelings. I remember the people being so nice here when I was getting married here but I guess they only recognize you if you are paying them. I have never ever in my life been treated like that. I even told the two ladies before leaving since I am being ignored I am writing a review I hope you have a good day. They responded...

I live in Benicia and miss the historic center area...some dogs (politicians) found the way to TAKE all that huge area, with lovelly green and paceful spaces and slowly and silently.... the area has been converted on abandoned buildings .... and in a couple of years when the old citizen die,, they will convert the area on multifamily, millions dollars, private owned places!. ......STOLEN FROM...

This is a wonderful space. The volunteers are very knowledgeable about local history and there are many fascinating artifacts exhibited throughout this charming museum. A must see for any local or visitor to the area. What a great way to spend part of your day. Come explore the beautiful garden area while you are there too. It is a perfect place...
