The Fife History Museum is located in the former home of Louis Dacca, a member of the original Fife City Council. The Dacca home and the adjacent portion of land the family once farmed were acquired by the City of Fife in 2000. This farmland is now the site of Dacca Park, and the home has been renovated to serve as the history museum, where the exhibits change on a regular basis.

History
The Fife Dacca Barn was constructed in 1964 for the Dacca Family who farmed the area from 1942-1993. Dacca Farms utilized this barn for washing, storing, and loading vegetables onto trucks for market. The barn was originally located just south of the railroad tracks. It was moved to it's current location in 2004, and renovated by volunteers and the Fife Historical Society.
