    Built entirely with private donations, the Los Altos History Museum resides in an impressive three-level, 8,200 square-foot building. It opened in spring of 2001, and its ownership was transferred to the City of Los Altos in 2002. The Museum features a changing exhibits gallery as well as the permanent exhibit Crown of the Peninsula, that describes the rich history of Los Altos.

    There’s more history just across the lushly landscaped courtyard in the landmark J. Gilbert Smith House. Built in 1905, it is nestled under majestic heritage oaks and has been meticulously refurbished to replicate a farmhouse of the 1930’s. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the gardens and picnic tables even when the House and Museum are closed.

    The Museum provides educational opportunities for children and adults to learn about the community via interactive exhibits and hands-on activities. Other programs include tours and curriculum for local elementary school children, oral history collections, the traveling Ohlone kit and more.

      Review posted by: Karen from Los Altos, CA, Oct 30, 2009

      We took our 2 sons (age 4 and 11) to see the show, they loved it. Staff was very friendly--great place for families. Fun experience for the boys, as most of their toys are the same size as the... Expand
