The San Mateo County History Museum continues its “Free First Fridays” program on August 3, 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 boats. They will create their own paper plate sailboats to take home. Then Museum staff will conduct a special program within the Charles Parsons’ Ships of the World Gallery. Here the youngsters will hear the story,Toot and Pops. 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. Credit Union members will receive 10% off in the Museum Store all day upon showing proof of membership. For more information contact info@historysmc.org or 650-299-0104.
