Historical buildings from all over San Jose have been brought together in this open-air history museum. The centerpiece is a scaled-down replica of the 1881 Electric Light Tower. Other buildings include the 1880 Pacific Hotel, which houses an old-timey ice cream parlor and rotating art exhibits. The Trolley Barn restores trolley cars to operate on San Jose’s light-rail line.
On weekends you can ride a streetcar along the park’s own short line at no charge.
