A Trip Back in Time What: Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum When: Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 2:00 p.m Where: 570 E Remington Dr, Sunnyvale, 94087 Meet: front entrance of the Murphy House Cost: Free
The Murphy Family was one of the first settlers in what is now Sunnyvale.
Martin Murphy, Jr., had his home milled to his specifications in Bangor, Maine,
and it was shipped around the Horn in 1850.
It was assembled in Sunnyvale using wooden pegs and leather straps because
there were no sawmills, and was the first frame house in the area.
This house was continuously lived in by members of the Murphy family
until it was given to the City of Sunnyvale in 1950.
It was made a State Historical Landmark in 1958 but was unfortunately demolished
by the city in 1961 due to extensive damage following a fire.
The house is now restored and is the site of the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum.
Come see the Murphy family memorabilia and other artifacts from the past!
Also, there’s a display on the varied agricultural history of Santa Clara Valley.

"Anyone concerned about the state of global politics
— and about the state of political humor
— should listen to the Mime troupe’s message." — The New York Times.
Four years ago, the Fun Group first attended a San Francisco Mime Troupe performance in Mitchell Park,
and it’s been a popular annual tradition among its members ever since!
This year, the Mime Troupe celebrates its 50th Year (1959-2009)
with this year’s performance of Too Big to Fail.
