Our Organization
On May 2, 1966, the Cupertino Historical Society was
founded as a non-profit organization by Louis Stocklmeir,
the city’s historian, and a group longtime residents.
Opened in 1990, the Cupertino Historical Museum, housed in
the Quinlan Community Center, is a growing repository of
artifacts, documents, photographs, and oral histories of city
residents, industries and businesses past and present.

Conclusion
We are the guardians of Cupertino History. We gather,
catalog and share our past. History is about people, their
music, their poetry, their food, their dress, not just their wars.
We believe history is not stagnant but continually evolving.
History is a celebration of life and Cupertino Historical
Society’s goals are to preserve and share that life.
