San Mateo County History Museum Continues its FREE First Fridays Program on January 2, 2026
 
 
The San Mateo County History Museum continues its “FREE First Fridays” program on January 2, 2026. Not only is admission free the entire day (10 a.m. until 4 p.m.), but two programs are planned for the public without any fee.

At 11 a.m., preschoolers can join Museum staff to learn about California's symbol, the bear! Children can make their own paper puppet bear. Then, they’ll explore the historic rotunda and Courtroom A to hear the story, What the Grizzly Knows.
 
At 2 p.m., docents will lead tours of the history museum for adults.
 
The San Mateo County History Museum is located at 2200 Broadway within the 116-year-old “Old Courthouse” in Redwood City. It features exhibits related to the use of natural resources, suburban development, ethnic experience, and innovative 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. until 4 p.m.

The “FREE First Fridays” program is sponsored by Monterra Credit Union.
