Free First Friday Program Continues in April

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 aquatic life. They will make an octopus out of paper for taking home. Then Museum staff will conduct a special program in its Mavericks surfing exhibit. Here the youngsters will hear the story, I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean. 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 105-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 times 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 the Edmund and Jeannik Littlefield Foundation and the Redwood City Civic Cultural Commission.
