The society was formed in 1989 when it was felt that some means of preserving the visual and written history of Fairfax was needed before it became lost by the passing of time and disappearance of the older residents who recalled the old days. We encourage the loan to us of photos and documents pertaining to earlier Fairfax for duplication at our expense. Donation of these documents is also appreciated. Copies of previous publications are on file at the Reference Desk of the Fairfax Library and at the California Room in the Civic Center Library. Future activities - more of the same or similar.
Membership is encouraged.
Please see our web page for more information. We are a house museum and contemporary art galleries. Contemporary cultural center housed in a historic mansion with an ongoing schedule of exhibits, lectures, classes and programs. Historic tours by appointment. We are a history museum which houses an extensive photo collection, maps, memorabilia, artifacts and newspapers.
