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

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On Sunday, May 1, 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-man saw, cleaving shingles with a mallet and froe, competing in games of the era, making dolls and other activities. Also featured will be three members from the Goat Hill Girls who will perform traditional bluegrass and Old Time American music. Event parking will be at the Kiely Equestrian Center, just past the Woodside Store on Tripp Road. The Woodside Store is a San Mateo County Park operated by the San Mateo County Historical Association.
