Dublin Historic Park and Museums — Attraction in Dublin

I actually have been working at this historical parks and museums for almost 2 years now as of June 2025. When I first got this job I was introduced to the characteristics of sweeping porches, unlocking and locking facilities, marking visitors in, taking $4 fees from Jam Band performers and stamping their passes and wiping cementaries. Essentially what interested me was definitiely how structured the historical significance of what the Museum was built for as a building a small schoolhouse for just 9 children to study in. It used to be called "Michael Murray schoolhouse" and now, present day "Murray Museum" when I worked there. Also what formally shocked me the most was how the abundance of Irish Immigrants just came to California and named Dublin as a City and built these Heritage Properties in a middle of nowhere just close to my place where I live today. Eventually properties in the 1900s like Kolb House was developed, Sunday Barn Schoolhouse for heritage and cultural people to dance in, the barn and everything else. As I resigned from this job this museum taught me a lot about the history and just enjoying the work I do there. I will remember everything I did in the museum the upcoming days switch out. Lots of cool things to learn about this place and...

Dublin Heritage Park and Museums is a ten-acre area home to picnic areas, historic buildings, and a cemetery going back to Gold Rush era 1859. Some of the structures include Murray Schoolhouse, where you can find a permanent exhibition of Dublin’s history, St. Raymond’s Church built in 1859, and Kolb House, the home of George Kolb – one of the original owners of the Dublin General Store.

Erected back in 1911, the building is now termed a ‘historic house museum.’ Here, you can experience a completely original period-style home with the family’s own Mission and Arts and Crafts furniture, family photographs, and many personal items of the Kolb family. All are great places to visit if you’re interested in the local history...

The City of Dublin did a great job on this park and history center. The original building at this site and the ones moved here are very well integrated and preserved. The Kolb house that was moved to this location is worth the time to visit. This park is a great time capsule of life in the TriValley before the 580/680 Freeways brought modern times to the area.

I only wish Dublin would encourage more events at this park !

Update 5/28: I have added a photo of a Hawthorne Tree in bloom. You can't see it in the photo, but there are dozens and dozens of bees foraging on these blossoms. It's quite spectacular to see all the trees blossoming and the bees doing...
