Discovery Park of America, History museum and heritage park in Union City, United States.
Discovery Park of America is a history museum and heritage park with large indoor galleries and outdoor grounds to explore. The facility houses multiple exhibition spaces focused on science, history, and transportation across its grounds.
The museum was created in 2013 from the expansion of an earlier local history museum through a major renovation project. A private foundation funded the transformation, significantly strengthening the region's cultural offerings.
The Native American section displays objects that tell the story of the region's first inhabitants and their way of life. You can see how these early communities lived and what mattered to them in daily life.
The park is laid out so visitors can easily move between indoor and outdoor areas at their own pace. Comfortable shoes are helpful, since you will walk on both paved paths and natural terrain.
The main building rests on a special type of ground support that keeps it stable while allowing for ground movement during earthquakes. This engineering approach shows how modern construction protects the space from natural forces.
