- Marlese36 contributionsThe big surprise is that there is a wonderful eating place within the museum. Dont get me wrong I love the quaint museum and its Free access but the special date gets better with access to The Cannery located inside. If you want to hand out and do paperwork and have hot tea or if you want to have a reasonable price breakfast - lunch go for it.They also have special brunch menu on th weekends. When I have time this is my go to spot! take my work computer and go have great breakfast - love the daily scramble, bacon ---Written June 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zeph721San Jose, CA104 contributionsI Came across this spot while "waiting out" a traffic jam home from work one day.
Mt Eden, was once a town nestled between Hayward on the North, The Clawitter and Patterson ranches to the south and Russel City to the north on older Californian maps.
The Cemetery is designated a "pioneer cemetery" (having tombstones dating to the 1860's) and, although in Hayward, is recognized as being in the former city of Mt. Eden.
An interesting note is that the cemetery lies less than 1/2 mile from another former city: Russel
An active cemetery, the location is still well kept. It is adjacent to both a Jr High and Hayward's community collage. With markers referencing the namesakes of streets and local districts, I'm sure one or more extra credit papers based themselves on the cemetery and it's locally famous residents.Written December 19, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

More restaurants on the edge of the parking lot. Movie theatre to keep the kids entertained.Written May 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
