Christmas at McConaghy House
Submitted By Heather Mellon
Experience what Christmas was like circa 1911 at McConaghy House, a time when changes were happening in Hayward and around the country: women in California had just received the right to vote, airplanes appeared in the sky and automobiles on the roads, and electric lights lit homes throughout the Hayward area. Find out what a family like the McConaghys would have been doing to celebrate Christmas 100 years ago.
Special programs will also take place on each Saturday. Tickets are $5 adults, $3 students/seniors, and free for children under 10 and Hayward Area Historical Society members.
