Dublin Heritage Park keeps the old crossroads visible

Dublin Heritage Park and Museums give fast-growing Dublin a concrete place to see schoolhouse, church, cemetery, and stage-route history.

Dublin has grown fast, which can make the older story easy to miss. Heritage Park and Museums gives the city a place where that history is still visible.

The 10-acre park is on Donlon Way. It includes lawns, picnic areas, Pioneer Cemetery, the 1856 Murray Schoolhouse, the Kolb House, and the 1859 St. Raymond Church. The spot also ties back to old stagecoach routes between the Bay Area, Stockton, Martinez, and San Jose.

That crossroads idea is a helpful way to read Dublin. Long before it became a modern East Bay suburb, it sat where routes met. For a first visit, walk the grounds and then check the museum hours. Tours, exhibits, and private-event access can change, so the current city page is the best guide.

Where to see it

Dublin Heritage Park and Museums at 6600 Donlon Way. Check city pages for hours, tours, exhibits, and event access.
