About this place

A museum in downtown Redwood City covering the San Francisco Peninsula's past, from its original inhabitants to the present day. Visitors explore exhibits about local history set within a restored historic building. The museum uses interactive displays, videos, and hands-on activities designed to engage children and adults alike, with particular focus on topics like transportation, natural resources, and immigration. School groups and families can join guided tours led by museum educators.

If you are a member here

A membership to San Mateo County History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
