Highlights & Collections
The History Museums of San Jose consist of two sites open to the public
which document the history of San Jose, California, and the surrounding
Santa Clara Valley.
Housed on twenty-five acres in the southernmost section of Kelley Park
in San Jose, the San Jose Historical Museum complex offers a unique
glance at the old homes and businesses that once graced the streets of
San Jose and contributed to the economic life of the Santa Clara Valley
in 1870 - 1910.
The History Museums of San Jose also include an historic site in
downtown San Jose. The Peralta Adobe, built in 1797, is the last
remaining adobe from the pueblo of San Jose, founded in 1777. The
Fallon House, built in 1855, was the Italianate-style residence of San
Jose's seventh mayor, Thomas Fallon.
