History Park gathers historic buildings and reconstructed streetscapes within Kelley Park to interpret Santa Clara Valley's changing communities.
Homes, businesses, and museum spaces give physical form to a history that extends beyond Silicon Valley's recent technology industry. Different organizations and cultural collections contribute perspectives within the shared setting.
Check which buildings, exhibitions, and programs will be open on your chosen day. Walking the grounds and entering staffed interiors are different experiences, so plan around the published schedule if particular collections are important to you.
