- A Roundhouse model replica of the original located near The Alameda.
- A 1910 Ostenberg gas engine manufactured near The Alameda.
- An Exhibition of Mission Bells marking the original path of the El Camino.

Where: The Alameda and Hanchett Avenue (1345 The Alameda, San Jose)
Who: Sponsored by the Alameda Business Association (ABA) and the Shasta Hanchett Park Neighborhood Association in cooperation with a variety of neighborhood groups and historical associations.
Why: The History of The Alameda is one of a series of festivals taking place on the last Saturday of each month during the summer. The Alameda has a rich stored past which is being brought to light by the people that live and work on and near this "Grand Boulevard." Each Saturday morning the Farmers Market on The Alameda offers freshest fruit, vegetables, flowers and confectionary and serves as the venue for the History of The Alameda Festival and future 2007 festivals:
