Our Resources
Quarterly Public Meetings
The Burlingame Historical Society holds quarterly public meetings when we present topics of historical interest. Our quarterly meetings often take us to historic locations around Burlingame.
Educational Programs
The society offers historical educational programs for adults and children.
The Passport to History program, a walking tour of historic Burlingame, is specifically designed for our city’s third graders. The program is run by volunteer docents, (we are always looking for more volunteers), and it lasts about two hours. The program is offered to all third graders in Burlingame public and private schools and meets the state mandated requirements for local history.
The Society periodically offers a class for teens and adults through the Burlingame Recreation Center called "Burlingame’s Art, Architecture and History". Illustrated with slides and featuring guest speakers, this class allows students to appreciate the city in a new and interesting way. Check the listings in the Burlingame Recreation Center catalog for any upcoming classes, or look for announcements here on our web site.
Archives
The Burlingame Historical Society maintains an extensive archive of historic memorabilia from Hillsborough and Burlingame’s past.
Exhibits
The society maintains both physical and online exhibits of Burlingame and Hillsborough history. The physical exhibits can be viewed in the Burlingame Hillsborough History Museum at the Burlingame Train station, the first Sunday of each month (summer schedule varies) or by appointment for groups of 5 or more by calling 650-340-9960 at least three weeks in advance of your visit.
