The Brea Historical Society Needs your Help! Like so many other non-profit organizations, the Brea Historical Society is experiencing financial hardship during these unprecedented times. As a stand alone non-profit, we don not receive city funding and rely solely on membership, donations, and the variety of events we host at the Museum. Following state and county mandates, the Museum was closed for seven months to help slow the spread of the Corona Virus. As a result, all boo...ked events for the year were cancelled and of course our income has dropped considerably. As you consider your year-end contributions, please keep the Brea Historical Society in mind. We are a 501c-3 so your donations are tax deductible. You can donate online at www.breamuseum.org or mail a check to the Museum. We appreciate your consideration. Remember, beginning October 31, 2020, the Museum will reopen. Hours are Thursday’s 2-5pm and Saturday’s 10-3pm. We look forward to seeing you at the Museum! Brea Museum & Historical Society 495 S. Brea Blvd. Brea, CA. 92821 Thank you!!
