San Mateo County History Museum

Kick off September with a day of free discovery at the San Mateo County History Museum! Thanks to the generosity of sponsor Monterra Credit Union, admission is free all day long - and there are two special programs to enjoy at no cost.

11 am - Preschool Story &amp; Craft: Busy Boats
Little ones are invited to set sail on a morning of maritime fun! Preschoolers will build their very own hot dog tray boats, then gather with Museum staff in the Ships of the World Gallery for a read-aloud of Busy Boats. A perfect first adventure into history for your youngest explorer.

2 pm - Docent-Led Tours for Adults
Curious grown-ups can join a free guided tour led by one of the Museum's knowledgeable docents. Explore the rich stories of the Peninsula - from the Ohlone people to the innovators of today - all within the beautifully restored 116-year-old "Old Courthouse."

Whether you're bringing the kids or coming on your own, FREE First Fridays is the perfect excuse to explore local history together.

Rancho Day Fiesta: FREE Event
On Saturday September 19 from 12 – 4 p.m., the San Mateo County Historical Association’s docents at the Sánchez Adobe present their annual Rancho Day Fiesta, a FREE family activity day. The Adobe is located at 1000 Linda Mar Boulevard in Pacifica. Take a trip back to the 1840s when Don Francisco Sánchez raised cattle for the hide-and-tallow trade at his Rancho San Pedro.
A living history event, visitors will be invited to make adobe bricks, stamp leather, dip candles, make core husk dolls, churn butter, and participate in other rancho-era activities, including learning how to dance as the early Californios did.
