Woodside Store Historical Home

May 22, 2009

I found out about this historical store when my daughter was in Grade School and went on a field trip here. Very fun.  Dr. Tripp and Mathias Parkhurst built the Woodside Store in 1854. Customers included loggers chopping down the redwoods. Dr. Tripp sold everything ffrom work books and ax handles to flour and ham. Later the farmers came and used it as a county store and post office until 1909.

It is a great place for a field trip. It is free. 650-851-7615 for more information.
