On display are stories of how the now booming town had started off as a small postal establishment. Exhibits denoting the rich development of this small town into one of the most affluent neighborhoods on the United States’ West Coast can be discovered throughout the museum. The museum is located in the Quinlan Community Center and is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday.
