Santa Clara

Old Quad

Roughly, this is the area outlined by el camino real, lafayette, market, and lincoln streets, and it makes up the old, historical section of the city. many 19th century homes are well preserved. if you have time, explore this area by bicycle or on foot, and make time to visit the local historical buildings, such as the harris-lass museum and the women's club adobe, that are in and around the old quad.

Opened in 2010, the museum honors people that worked and lived at the Agnews State Hospital and later Agnews Developmental Center from 1888 to 2009 with artifacts and photos and a viewing area for the restored cemetery.
