We have museum that celebrates all things Hayward. It is called the Hayward Center for History and Culture. The first floor is the Museum for things are Hayward, the second floor is the archives. One thing about Hayward is that it was really rural and it was an agricultural area with a lot of farms and ranches until the last 50 years:
 |
| The cornerstone from the original Hayward High |
 |
| A look at inside of the museum |

| A driver's uniform in the early 1900's |

 |
| The Western Pacific sign for the railroad |
