The San Anselmo Historical Society was first organized March 18, 1998 for the purpose of enhancing the Historical Museum’s activities. It is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with individual and family memberships available. Members of the Society enjoy our newsletters and our fun events.
With income from dues and contributions, the Society has provided funds for software to manage the Museum’s collection and for improvements in the exhibit space in the Museum.
