Holidays with HAHS

Tis the season to be merry, so let HAHS help bring extra joy! Bring family and friends on any of the first three Saturdays in December to travel back in time for an old-fashioned holiday celebration.

Meek Mansion will be decorated for the season and open for self-guided tours on December 7, December 14, and December 21 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. $5 Suggested Donation.

Our complete schedule of Christmas programs is listed below. There’s something happening at Meek and the HAHS Museum each of those open Saturdays, and don’t miss our special Twinkle Tours at Meek!


Christmas at the HAHS Museum

It's the season for cider, cookies, and crafts! In addition to visiting our history and art galleries, you can pop in to the museum on Saturdays in December to make a salt dough ornament and other festive crafts while enjoying hot cider and cookies in our little elves workshop. Visit on the Second Floor of 22380 Foothill Boulevard in Hayward.
