- **Event Name**: San Mateo County's Rowdy Beginnings
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 03 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Ballot Box stuffing, voter intimidation, bribed public officials - that does not sound like San Mateo County, does it? On the contrary, join Mitch Postel, President of the San Mateo County Historical Association, as he gives an account of our county's first election in the spring of 1856. It all happened before the people of the sparsely settled Peninsula even had a hint of what was taking place. A major portion of the drama took place near Woodside at the Crystal Springs Hotel. It required San Francisco vigilantes and a core of local honest citizens, like Dr. R. O. Tripp and Gaza Haraszthy, to straighten things out.

Light refreshments will be served.

Admission is FREE.
