“Galindo Home and Gardens is a well-maintained museum in Concord, CA. The Museum was built in 1856 for Don Francisco Galindo and his wife, Maria Dolores Manuela (Pacheco) Galindo, Don Salvio’s second daughter. At that time, it 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, brought up residence between 1875 and 1880, the original six-room house was expanded to ten rooms. In 2010, ownership was repositioned to the Concord Historical Society. The Galindo Home has been completely restored by the Concord Historical Society and now operates as the Society’s Museum. Their mission is to discover, collect, restore, preserve, and exhibit objects, materials, publications, illustrating, teaching, and accounts helpful in establishing, and promoting interest in the history of the City of Concord and its vicinity and the exploration, settlement, development, growth, progress, and activities of the City of Concord and its vicinity and population.
