About Us

The History Museum, at what remains of Forbes Mill (built in 1854), is the front section of the old mill. The Annex was built in 1880 for additional storage. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1978), the California State Register of Historic Places No. 458, Santa Clara County Point of Historical Interest No. SCL-3784 and a Los Gatos-Saratoga Realtors Association Historical Landmark. The History Museum features rotating and traveling exhibits. Past subjects have ranged from the native Mutsun (Ohlone) to the Gold Rush to the impact of WWII on the Santa Clara Valley.
