Old Woodside Store Day

On May 3, between 12 and 4 p.m., the San Mateo County Historical Association invites the public to a free day at the historic Woodside Store

The volunteer docent group, the Woodside Storekeepers, will greet the public and invite visitors to experience life in the 1880s. This special family day will focus on the history of the Store and the redwood logging activities in the area. Children will enjoy cutting a log with a two-man saw, cleaving shingles with a mallet and froe, competing in a seed spitting contest, making dolls and other activities. Bluegrass music will be provided by 27strings. The Woodside Store is a San Mateo County Park operated by the San Mateo County Historical Association. The Woodside Store is located at the corner of Tripp Road and Kings Mountain Road in Woodside. For more information see our website, www.historysmc.org or call 650-299-0104.
