Charming Historic Garden in Downtown Palo Alto

A perfect venue for our baby shower! The beautiful garden is meticulously maintained and everyone that we worked with at the Museum was so responsive, knowledgable, and kind. We used the arbor area to set up the tables available from the museum for everyone to sit down for brunch. Our caterer (Deja Vu in Sunnyvale who we would highly recommend) used another couple of the tables to lay out the buffet spread, which all fit in the arbor. We used the front grassy area for the welcome drinks, activity and photos. Plenty of parking, convenient restrooms, and the smooth gravel pathways make everything accessible. All our guests LOVED the venue and we had many requests to just go ahead and plan the 1st birthday party there. Probably will!!!

Absolutely wonderful staff and a beautiful location! I had booked this location for my dad's Celebration of Life as I had wanted a location that better reflected his personality and life than a funeral parlor or church. The staff helped to set up and made sure everything went smoothly as well as were available to answer any questions. Most flowers are in bloom now, so if you are able to book soon, it is especially nice.

We hosted our Baby Shower at this garden inside the Museum of American Heritage, and the space was like a dream come true. It had the perfect mix of nature and historic beauty. Allison and Aimee have been wonderful at answering any questions that we had and helping us through the planning for the event. On the day of, Aimee was a wonderful host and took all our guests on a private guided tour of the museum and it's artifacts. The kids loved the museum and had a great time playing in the front yard. The pictures were fabulous, and our friends thought it was a garden out of Tuscany. I'm so happy to have found this hidden gem to host such an important milestone in my life.

We hosted our kid's birthday party here during summer of 2022. The event was very successful. The venue was very beautiful both in person and in photos. The front lawn area is perfect for shooting gorgeous photos during sunset time. Our guests totally loved it. The staff (Allison and team) were outstanding throughout and very helpful right from the beginning. The facilities at the location were great too. I will definitely host an event again at this location.

We had a fantastic experience with The American Heritage Museum. We hosted our rehearsal dinner there, and Allison and her team were super responsive and helpful online and in person. They even helped coordinate with our rental company for tables and chairs.

Allison was very helpful, prompt and clear in all our communications. The space was beautiful around this time of year (October) and we’d definitely love to go back in the future. Thank you so much!
