San Mateo County History Museum
"The San Mateo County History Museum has filled an important need by focusing on American Folklore and cultural heritage. Artifacts, exhibits, and legends are on display that keep history alive and retell the stories of the West. In terms of topical approach, design, content, and overall execution within a restored historic building, it is the best county museum in California!"
John J. Hodges,
President, California Heritage Council

Old County Courthouse
On the National Register of Historic Places, the 1910 courthouse features a stained glass dome and mosaic tile floor. Glenn Allen designed the building to look as impressive as San Francisco City Hall. In 2006, the original front façade of the building was restored, including the grand staircase and Corinthian columns.
