Mission:
Enriching Community Life Through Education and Preservation
We are dedicated to linking the past to the future by preserving, clarifying and disseminating information about history specific to the Tri Valley region and by encouraging participation in the arts and humanities through our public programs.
We carry out that mission through the following programs and projects:
Permanent and temporary exhibitions at the Museum on Main Street.
Guest lecturers,presentations and panel discussions about local, state, regional and national topics.
Tours for school groups, scouts, and other youth and adult organizations.
Newsletters, pamphlets and other publications.
Encouragement of long-time residents, newcomers and visitors to delve into local and regional history.
Special events and public programs, such as Ghost Walks and Wild West Evening.
Acquisition, archiving and care of historic artifacts, documents, oral histories and photographs that enhance the role of the Museum on Main Street as an architectural and cultural resource.
