Nice small historical museum that depicts the history of Redwood City. Well laid out and very informative with hands on and wall exhibits all located in the old county court house rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. No parking on site. Metered street parking.
The San Mateo County History Museum, housed in the old County Courthouse, offers visitors an opportunity to discover the San Francisco Peninsula's colorful past from the original Native American inhabitants of yesterday to the Silicon Valley innovators of today.
The 1910 building, on the National Register of Historic Places, features one of the largest stained glass domes in California, an extensive archives library, a thematic gift shop and a huge used bookstore. The beautifully restored space is also available to rent for special events.
