The Heritage Committee of the Girl Scouts of Northern California is responsible for creating wonderful exhibits at both of the museums below. It also maintains a collection of uniforms and equipment that is available for public displays and fashion shows. The committee is always looking for donations of clothing and Girl Scout memorabilia, particularly from the years 1912 to 1940.

The Heritage Museum at the Alameda office

The museum houses uniforms, pins, badges, and memorabilia documenting local and national Girl Scout history. It also houses a scale replica of the home of founder Juliette Gordon Low. The 24-square-foot, nine-bedroom dollhouse features working electric lights, parlors, trunk rooms, and working doors and windows. It replicates the English Regency style of architecture that was fashionable at the time of its construction (1818-1821). The interior reflects a renovation that occurred in 1886 when Juliette Low was growing up.

The museum is located adjacent to the retail store and may be visited during store hours.
