Go to the Museum

 

HISTORY

The Burlingame Historical Preservation Society was organized in April of 2001. A seven member board was selected. The goal of this board was to raise funds to purchase the old Schuyler school building. This was soon achieved and on October 1, 2001 ownership of the property was turned over to the BHPS. The Schuyler school was built in 1902 and the Historical Society goal was to open the museum on the 100^th anniversary year of 2002. The dream of the original Historical Society founders became a reality on June 24, 2002.
