The Camron-Stanford House, the last of the historic Victorian homes surrounding Lake Merritt, serves as a museum that invites visitors to explore the early days of Oakland through its meticulously recreated living spaces and diverse exhibits focused on 19th-century life and culture. Established as the first museum in Oakland, it aims to preserve and protect this landmark while promoting an appreciation of local history through engaging events and displays.
