Old Woodside Store Day: Experience Life in the 1880s (Peninsula)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On Sunday, May 7, 2023 between noon and 4 p.m., the San Mateo County Historical Association invites the public to a free day at the historic Woodside Store at the corner of Tripp Road and Kings Mountain Road in Woodside.  The volunteer docent group, the Woodside Storekeepers, will greet the public and invite visitors to experience life in the 1880s.  This special family day will focus on the history of the store and the redwood logging activities in the area.  Children will enjoy cutting a log with a two-person saw, cleaving shingles with a mallet and froe, competing in a seed spitting contest, making dolls and other activities. The Goat Hill Girls Trio will perform at the event.

The Woodside Store is a San Mateo County Park operated by the San Mateo County Historical Association.

Old Woodside Store Day is held annually the first Sunday in May.
