Capitola Historical Museum
1 review for Capitola Historical Museum
the museum is very small in itself. very nicely located on the main street for capitola. located next to capitola city hall, fire house and a cool antique shop a few strides away. no street side parking, however, best place to park for this museum and capitola period is the parking for city hall. there's a one-way lane that slightly goes uphill, off of capitola ave. go there. free parking is good for 12 hours - do what ya like for 12 hours!!! the beach and what-not is not even a 1/4 mile away!
i know, i digress...
this small museum currently has the "welcome to the hotel capitola" exhibit on display. very well documented with very old photos and short stories on the history of capitola and how it began to be a resort... it's a great exhibit and a must see if you're a history buff.
taken from their site:
The Capitola Historical Museum maintains extensive collections of photographs and artifacts related to Capitola's history, and offers changing exhibits on the history and art of the area, as well as on special seasonal and topical themes. Museum grounds now include a reconstructed cottage from the era of the early 20th century beach resort. Restoration of a wash house is a new, ongoing Museum project. Come visit us!
