    San Mateo County History Museum presents a one-man reenactment of Timothy Guy Phelps, as interpreted by Tom Brennan. Timothy Guy Phelps was the first president of the Southern Pacific Railroad from 1865 until 1868 when the railroad was purchased by members of The Big Four. Phelps saw the railroad build its first tracks south of San Francisco and became a prominent landowner in the area. Tom Brennan taught American History at Woodside High School and is now a docent at the History Museum and Woodside Store.
