For many years, the Stable was slowly deteriorating, with no public funds available to preserve the main building and surrounding Carriage House, Blacksmith Barn, Dairy House, and stone walls. In 2002, the friends formed the Folger Estate Stable Committee, and in conjunction with the Department of Parks, County of San Mateo, began the process of renovating the stable to its original condition.

Renovation on the Folger Stable began on December 1, 2008. The renovation was guided by the Construction Steering Committee, chaired by Rob Flint (with contractor Bill Stronck, Architect Adolph Rosekrans, Parks and Recreation Director Dave Holland, Jill Daly, Joe Geist, Susan Lang, Suzanne Muller, and Bill Wraith). The project was completed on time and on budget in April, 2010.

Today the beautifully renovated Folger Stable is a precious historical treasure. It is still operated as a public horse boarding facility, one of the few left on the Peninsula.

The original Carriage Room within the main stable has been transformed into a magnificent museum that showcases our local history, including the farming and horse and buggy eras.

The Friends would like to thank the generous donor community for their support of this important renovation effort.
