I was in San Jose in July, and while I didn't do too much sightseeing,
I did get over to the Winchester Mystery House.  The WMH is the estate
of Sarah Winchester who believed her life would be spared an Indian
curse if she built her house 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.  She did
for 38 years, and the result is...bizarre.  

The tours takes about an hour and the House is probably best gotten to
by car.  the tour costs something like $12, but I thought it was worth
it.  The grounds also include small museums of Americana and the
history of the Winchester Company (who's most famous product is
rifles).
