Description

Our mission is to "Create a Passion for the Past." We do this by collecting the artifacts and emphemera that represent the past and present of Cupertino. Our collection contains more than 2,000 artifacts, we have a quarterly lecture series and two education programs that reach out into the community. We have a vision for the future, "the Cupertino Center for Living History," which will involve a $4 million capital campaign to restore historic structures in Cupertino, and create a "hands-on" history park for kids. We collaborate with the City of Cupertino on projects of a historic nature and we occasionally place historic plaques on historic sites, such as the Glendenning Barn located on the HP campus in Cupertino. We rotate exhibits in the museum twice a year.

History

The Cupertino Historical Society was formed in 1966. And the museum was created in 1990. We are a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors, and we receive no funding from the City of Cupertino. Most of our funding comes from donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. We also have a very supportive membership.
