Los Altos is 36 miles south of San Francisco and 3 miles from Stanford University. The Town is blessed with natural beauty, great weather and sophisticated surrounds. The collectors come from everywhere, as do the participating dealers. Beginning in the 1990's, due to popular demand, the show became a twice-a-year event held in June & October. Until recently, the June show continued "under the oaks" surrounding the Los Altos History House while the October show was held across the parking lot from the History Museum in the Hillview Community Center. Recently the History Museum completed construction on a multi-million dollar addition. Due to lack of space surrounding the History Museum, both the Spring & Falls shows are now held inside and in the courtyards surrounding four buildings at the Hillview Community Center. In June 2000, Tom Baker, a well-known and highly regarded Americana dealer, took over the promotion of the California Country Show from Bea & Lori. The Los Altos shows continue to be a fundraiser for the Los Altos History Museum.
