About Cupertino Historical Society + Museum

The Cupertino Historical Society and Museum preserves the region's local heritage through exhibits and educational programs. Visitors tour displays featuring artifacts from Cupertino's agricultural past, including photographs of early twentieth-century fruit canneries and the Valley of Hearts Delight landscape. The museum presents exhibits on transportation history, such as the 1906 Interurban Railroad, and community life captured in images like the Fremont High School Band class of 1933-34. A Natural History Exhibit showcases taxidermy animals in display cases. The museum also houses historical documents, including 1944 food ration coupons, and aerial photographs of downtown Cupertino after World War II. Docents lead guided tours for school groups, including preschool classes. The Cupertino Stories Initiative invited residents to share personal narratives about living and working in the city. The museum suits families, students, and anyone interested in local history and serves the Cupertino, California community.
