Story

The Museum of American Heritage (MOAH) is the Bay Area’s only museum exclusively dedicated to the history of technological innovation in the pre-transistor age. MOAH is an interactive learning center whose mission is to create innovators of the future through inventions of the past.

MOAH is a family friendly learning environment where visitors of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to explore scientific and technological history through our unique exhibits, classes, and special events.

A lot of old machines from the 40s. This is the old house of a doctor and has plenty of antiques mostly from office days. Interesting way to see how was technology almost 100 years ago.

They offer a nice view of America in the 50s and before. Interesting to see how they were managing without computers
