The Collections Corner

The Collections Corner, located in what was previously Dr. Williams' examining room, displays elements of the permanent collection of the Museum of American Heritage, including much of founder Frank Livermore's collection of electrical and mechanical devices. The theme and subject of the display change from time to time so that more of the collection can be displayed.

Dr. Thomas Williams' Surgery

February - June, 2007

Dr. Thomas Williams was the first surgeon to practice in Palo Alto. Besides his medical offices at 601 Bryant St., he maintained an office, surgery and laboratory in one wing of his residence, a common practice among doctors before community hospitals were widely available. MOAH has recreated his surgery, office and laboratory as part of the celebration of the Williams House centennial.
