Weekend Paintsites--San Jose History Park--April 21, 2018

History Park is located at the south end of Kelley Park at the corner of Senter Road and Phelan Avenue. Through 32 original and reproduction homes, businesses and landmarks, History Park reveals Santa Clara Valley’s past. Complete with paved streets, running trolleys and an old-fashioned ice cream shop, this 14-acre site offers the charm and ambiance of times gone by.
