Spring Garage Sale - Saturday, April 18th

Our Annual Spring Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday, April 18th from 8AM - 2PM at our usual location at 795 South Wolfe Road, Sunnyvale (closest cross-street is Iris Avenue). All proceeds go directly to the daily operation of the museum.

We always welcome your donations—especially kitchen items, jewelry, tools, seasonal items and other collectibles. If you have donations for the sale, items can be dropped off during the day of the sale or at the museum during normal hours (Tues/Thurs/Sun from noon to 4pm) or contact the museum for more information [408-749-0220].

We will have a large variety of items available--antiques, kitchen items, dinnerware, tools, books, toys, and much more. We hope to see you there!

If you are interested in volunteering for this event, or other museum events, please drop by the museum to ask about volunteering or e-mail our Volunteer Coordinator at: volunteer@heritageparkmuseum.ORG

We hope to see you at the Garage Sale!

Spring Teas are April 25-26 & May 3

Our Spring Victorian Teas are less than a month away. They are scheduled for 2PM on April 25-26 (Saturday & Sunday) and May 3 (Sunday).

Reservations are rapidly filling up for this popular Spring event. Give us a call (408-749-0220) today or come by the museum to reserve yourself a space at our special table.

The teas also make a great early Mother's Day gift.

High Tech Interpretive Contest
and Awards Reception

In early 2014, the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum held a contest for interpreting our Technology Timeline Wall for a digital version. Kids and teens participated in this project by illustrating stories and questions that trigger new innovations.

The Second Part of the contest is currently underway. Students are encouraged to interpret the themes of avionics, electronics and software.

Go HERE for more information on the contest and timeline. The deadline for submissions is April 7!

The artwork will be on display on the second floor of the museum from April 10 thru April 19. There will also be a free public reception at the museum on Sunday, April 19th from 1- 4 pm to award the winners and celebrate everyone who participated in the contest. We hope you can come and view these wonderful works of imagination from our local students.

Easter is Coming!

This is a reminder that the museum will be CLOSED for Easter Sunday, April 5th. So you only have this week to pick up a special gift to fill your Easter Basket.

Our Museum Gift Shop has a great selection of items for all occasions. The shop is open during normal museum operating hours (Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday from noon to 4pm).

The Sunnyvale Historical Society and Museum Association is excited to again be participating in SVGives, the 24-hour online fundraising event aimed at inspiring and uniting our local community to support philanthropic causes in the Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Benito counties.

Hosted by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, SVGives will raise money for local nonprofits through a single online giving platform. The Sunnyvale Historical Society is participating because we support the vision and the goals for this exciting event.

Please help our daily operations by giving at this time (note that donations before May 5th will also count towards our daily totals, so don't delay).
