The San Mateo County Historical Association and its docent organization, the Woodside Storekeepers, will present Old Woodside Store Day, a free family event from noon to 4 p.m. May 6. Visitors will be invited to experience life in the 1880s, as activities will focus on the history of the Woodside Store and the redwood logging that occurred in the region.
The Woodside Storekeepers will demonstrate and invite the public to use a two-man saw, make shingles with a mallet and a froe, wash clothes with an old-fashioned machine, twine rope, churn butter and create rag dolls to take home. The whole family is invited to compete in pie-eating and seed-spitting contests. The band 27strings will perform bluegrass music throughout the afternoon.
The store is located at 3300 Tripp Road (corner of Kings Mountain Road and Tripp Road) in Woodside. For information, go to historysmc.org or call (650) 299-0104.
