The 1868 home of National City's founding family, open a narrow weekend window. Walk a block along A Avenue afterwards to see Brick Row, an 1887 terrace of ten attached Victorian townhomes — genuinely unusual for Southern California.

Known this museum for years. Good place go if you want to know the start of National City History this is the place to go. Volunteers of museum are very knowledgeable and friendly giving the story frank kimball , and local historical landmarks, including Granger Hall and Stein farm . I was recently asked by the board members to Restore a 1913 Victrola back to its original condition , after it What time is it? donated to the museum. The museum is very happy to acquired the Victrola into their collection .volunteers are very happy to give demonstrations on how this works by winding the crank as there was no electricity yet and most homes in the early 1900s this was a way of entertainment without electricity". Also in the museum is a hand pumped organ , rooms in the house also show the dining room and main parlor which the table is set with all fancy China and early electrical lighting . There is also the national city Depot, which is not too far away, which was the very first railroad station in the South BAY region going back to 1882"
