The Menlo Park Historical Association, located in the basement of the Menlo Park Public Library, is a small organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of Menlo Park and its surroundings. Visitors can explore memorabilia of famous residents and vanished buildings, including items once owned by jazz composer Henry Cowell and the demolished Dibble General Hospital.
The historical association features watercolor paintings of Menlo Park, a photograph of El Camino Real from the 1970s, and a portrait of founder Frank Merrill. Archives are meticulously maintained by longtime Menlo Park resident Frank Helfrich, who possesses a wealth of knowledge about the area's history and often remains on-site beyond regular closing hours.
