The planned general opening of the San Leandro History Museum of 1/5/22 is postponed to February in order to manage the post-holiday surge in Covid cases. We are excited to open to the general public, but for the safety of the community and our staff, we are postponing that general opening to February when experts predict the post-holiday Covid surge will subside. We will announce a February opening date in the near future.
