History
Construction of the Vacaville Museum began in 1981 after Eva Buck, the wife of Frank H. Buck, donated money and land for the museum.[1][2] It opened in 1984 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009.[3] In 2015, public art project We Know Jack raised US$90,000 for the museum by auctioning 24 fibreglass rabbits.[4]
gollark: I don't to my own stuff, it's synced in the background when I'm on a stable WiFi connection.
gollark: My home server also only has 8Mbps upload to the wider internet because it's on ancient overtaxed copper.
gollark: Prices have dropped decently so I could have an unlimited plan for not *much* more, but I don't... actually need it.
gollark: Also 12GB of transfer per month.
gollark: I have coverage basically everywhere, but something like 4Mbps download speeds on mobile internet connectivity mostly.
