The Arcadia Historical Society, founded in 1952, was created for the purpose of collecting and preserving artifacts and materials reflecting the rich heritage of Arcadia, California. The Society and its auxiliary group, the Friends of the Society, stage events, programs and exhibitions, often in cooperation with the Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum.
The Society holds four general membership meetings each year in November, January, March, and May. A program of historical interest is the highlight of these meetings. Members in good standing are eligible to vote at the annual meeting for the Board of Directors.
Members receive Caminos, a quarterly newsletter (read the current edition), invitations to Museum exhibitions, opening receptions, and Arcadia Historical Society program. Between newsletters, look for news, announcements, and reflections, or share your thoughts and information of historical interest on our blog.
