History Museum Continues Its FREE First Fridays Program on July 7, 2023

The San Mateo County History Museum continues its “Free First Fridays” program on July 7, 2023.  Not only is admission free the entire day (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), but two programs are planned for the public without any fees.  At 11:00 a.m., preschool children will be invited to learn about traveling long ago.  They will create mini covered wagons. Then Museum staff will conduct a reading within its transportation gallery.  Here the youngsters will hear the story, Covered Wagons: Bumpy Trails.  At 2 p.m., Museum docents will lead a tour of the Museum for adults.  

The San Mateo County History Museum is located at 2200 Broadway within the 113-year-old “Old Courthouse” in Redwood City.  It features exhibits related to the use of natural resources, suburban development, ethnic experience and entrepreneurial achievement on the Peninsula from the time of the Ohlone Indian through today.  The Museum is open every day except Monday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The “Free First Fridays” program is sponsored by San Mateo Credit Union. Credit Union members can receive 10% off in the Museum Store upon showing proof of membership.  For more information visit www.historysmc.org/free-first-fridays or call 650-299-0104.
