Your History Society Board, still meeting and improving and looking forward to when we can be open!

Have you seen the quarterly Newsletter yet? Well, here it is! carmelvalleyhistoricalsociety.org

Anyone want to do this together at a ZOOM time? We can make that happen. PM us.......OR, feel free to do it with your own private party.

We are waiting, waiting, waiting to be able to open again. Stay tuned.

A bit of history.....oh, right, that's what we do.

Just a reminder to our friends and neighbors here in The Valley, even though the History Center is not open at present, we are available to help you with your history questions. If you have purchased a historical property and want to know more about it, or are descended from a Valley pioneer, or have any other questions about our Valley's past, please contact us. If we can assist you, we will be pleased to do so. (From Historian Elizabeth Barratt)

Wondering when we are opening? Estimated, in August. We can hardly wait! Hope you are saving some time to pay the museum a visit. It has been cleaned, moved around, and upgraded.

Even thought we can't have the museum open during this pandemic, the work continues by our dedicated volunteers. Be watching for the next newsletter....arriving in your mailbox around June 1. If you want to be added to our mailing list, please email Kim at [email protected]
