There isn't much information available about this small museum. The museum is unstaffed and displays two rooms in a home that was used as a restaurant in San Diego's earliest days.
The San Diego History Society's State Park website has this mere two sentence description:
"Casa de Machado y Silva
Jose Nicasio Silvas, who built this house between 1830 and 1843, lived here for many years with his wife, Maria Antonia Machado, and children. Their home stayed in the family for over 100 years, and subsequently became a boarding house, saloon, restaurant, art studio, souvenir shop, museum and church."
