History Museum Continues Its FREE First Fridays Program on October 5, 2018

The San Mateo County History Museum continues its “Free First Fridays” program on October 5, 2018. 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 cars. They will make toy cars out of clothespins to take home. Then Museum staff will conduct a special program within the Journey to Work Gallery. Here the youngsters will hear the story, My Car. At 2 p.m., museum docents will lead tours of the Museum for adults.

The San Mateo County History Museum is located at 2200 Broadway within the 108-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.
