“Galindo Home and Gardens was built for Don Francisco Galindo and his wife, Maria Dolores Manuela (Pacheco) Galindo, Don Salvio’s second daughter, in 1856. At that time, the house was one of the few Victorian ranch houses in the county. As their oldest son, Juan “John” Galindo, and his bride Marina “Sarah” (Amador) Galindo took up residence between 1875 and 1880, the original six-room house was expanded to ten rooms. Ownership was transferred to the Concord Historical Society in 2010. Galindo Home and Gardens has been completely restored by the Concord Historical Society and now serves as the Society's museum. The museum aims to discover, collect, restore, preserve, and exhibit objects, materials, publications, and accounts helpful in establishing, illustrating, teaching, and promoting interest in the history of the City of Concord, its vicinity, and the exploration, settlement, development, growth, progress, and activities of its population.”
