Museum of American Heritage, History museum in downtown Palo Alto, United States.
The Museum of American Heritage occupies the Williams House, displaying electrical and mechanical technology artifacts spanning from 1750 through 1950 across seven exhibition rooms.
Frank Livermore established the museum in 1990 with a collection of 1000 artifacts, which has since expanded to over 8000 items including typewriters, radios, and appliances.
The museum maintains rotating exhibitions highlighting American technological progress, including displays of vintage household items, mechanical devices, and early transportation equipment.
Located at 351 Homer Avenue, the museum welcomes visitors Friday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM without admission charges, though donations support operations.
The museum features a restored 1915 Ford Model T in its garage and maintains gardens with period-appropriate plants surrounding the 1907 historic building.
