Ainsley House & the Civic Center
Around Orchard City Green, between City Hall and the library, Campbell keeps its history: the 1925 Ainsley House and its carriage house, and the Historical Museum in the old firehouse.
Discover Ainsley House & the Civic Center
The Ainsley House was built in 1925 in the style of an English Cotswold cottage for canning pioneer John Colpitts Ainsley and his wife Alcinda, on their orchard at Hamilton and Bascom Avenues. The family gave it to the city in 1989, and it was moved to 300 Grant Street in 1990. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. (Wikipedia)
The house is open Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with tickets at the Carriage House, and closes in January and February for its yearly renovation. (Campbell Museums)
The Campbell Historical Museum opened in 1964, started by the Country Woman’s Club, and since 1983 has been in Firehouse No. 1 at 51 North Central Avenue, the new city’s first building. (Wikipedia) In its early years the firehouse also held the city hall and the police. (City of Campbell)
On Thursday evenings in July and August, Orchard City Green hosts the free Summer Concert Series. (Campbell Chamber)
