Los Altos History Museum presents a new exhibit titled "What's in a Name? History of Los Altos Street Names," exploring the city's past, its landmarks and early residents. On display in the J. Gilbert Smith House from January 11, 2024, to April 7, 2024, the exhibit is a collaborative effort led by volunteers Paul Kuckein and Gina Atkinson. An ongoing project, the exhibit presents a fraction of the comprehensive research undertaken, and invites visitors to contribute to the ongoing research through a designated community corner. The exhibit features an array of artifacts including vintage Los Altos street signs, original maps of the area, and photographs of the streets mentioned. A pie chart visually breaks down street names into categories and types of names utilized, such as trees, cities, last names, and Spanish words. The Museum is open Thursdays through Sundays, from noon to 4pm. For further information, visit losaltoshistory.org/Streets.
