Mission Peak Heritage Foundation History
Robert B. Fisher, M.D., founded Mission Peak Heritage Foundation (MPHF) in Fremont, California in 1972. He wanted to preserve historical sites, pioneer family histories and local antiquities. The Foundation’s purpose is to preserve those historic resources which represent the heritage of Alameda County’s Washington Township. The township formally included the towns of Warm Springs, Mission San Jose, Irvington, Centerville, Niles, Newark, Decoto and Alvarado.
Mission Peak Heritage Foundation is a non-profit corporation endorsed by the council action of Fremont, Newark and Union City.
Mission Peak Heritage Foundation Today
Mission Peak Heritage Foundation Today
In years prior, MPHF was involved in preserving many historic properties. Other properties that were preserved are the Patterson House at Ardenwood Farm and Rancho Higuera.
Today the primary focus of the non-profit Mission Peak Heritage Foundation is to manage the historic Shinn House and Archive/Museum
We host teas, events, and tours. Shinn Historical Park & Arboretum is the last 4 acres of the historic Shinn's Nurseries and Shinn Ranch. At the Shinn House we tell the stories of the Shinn family who came to the Washington Township in Southern Alameda County in 1856.

Some day missionpeakreporter.org will disappear, but for now it seems to have been re-born. It will no longer be updated. See the original website of Mission Peak Heritage Foundation on the Wayback Machine. The first snapshot is dated 2013.
