About this venue

The San Mateo County Historical Association operates three historical sites: the San Mateo County History Museum in Redwood City, the Woodside Store in Woodside, and the Sanchez Adobe in Pacifica. It also runs school programs at the Folger Stable in Woodside. The original goals of the Historical Association have expanded to include providing meaningful learning experiences for the county’s residents and guests, with special attention devoted to children’s programs. Through hands-on experiences, students are much more likely to learn, appreciate, and integrate historical information into their current lives. We also offer an exciting calendar of public programs, including workshops, lectures, and family days. We invite you to visit the History Museum, Woodside Store, and Sanchez Adobe.
