Free First Friday at the History Museum

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 Mexican traditions. They will make tissue paper flowers for taking home. Then Museum staff will conduct a special program in its Land of Opportunity: The Immigrant Experience in San Mateo County exhibit gallery. Here the youngsters will hear the story, Marco’s Cinco de Mayo. At 2 p.m., museum docents will lead tours of the Museum for adults. The “Free First Fridays” program is sponsored by the Edmund and Jeannik Littlefield Foundation and the Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission.
