Los Altos History Museum is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the local history of the Santa Clara Valley. Based in Los Altos, California, it operates within a historic apricot orchard and maintains free admission supported by donors. The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 4 pm, offering a range of exhibitions and community programs. Its permanent exhibition, Making Connections: Stories from the Land, presents an immersive account of the region's development, from Indigenous Ohlone communities to contemporary Silicon Valley residents, including a life-sized 1932 downtown Los Altos replica and a working-model railroad. Outdoor displays explore historical water management and farming life, highlighted by the 1905 J. Gilbert Smith House, while recent initiatives include a digital tour app and an online oral history project.
