Mission Statement

The purpose of the Napa County Historical Society is to discover and keep history alive through exhibits, lectures, and events, as well as research, publications, and educational activities. We are a membership-based archival and educational organization dedicated to the discovery, preservation and presentation of the people and history of Napa County and its place in California history.

Description

The Napa County Historical Society is a research library and museum. We house thousands of original documents, photos, books, manuscripts and maps that aid in public research. We also believe that preserving these items is fundamental to the maintenance and understanding of Napa history as a whole. Our museum showcases exhibits that provide insight into Napa's history. From the history of entertainment to the history of crime, we seek to educate our visitors on all aspects of Napa life. We are open to the public Tuesday - Saturday 12p - 4p, and to volunteers/interns from 9:30a - 4:30p.

There is never a shortage of things to do. The Volunteer Coordinator is very flexible and can accommodate you to whatever you feel like doing, plus she is delightful to work with (so is the director). It is also a great resource for people interested in historical research.
