Membership Information Since 1959 the Historical Society has remained dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of the rich cultural heritage of the Carpinteria Valley.  In recent years we have experienced a tremendous growth in the museum’s programs, collections, and exhibits.  We do not rely on government support; the Society’s primary sources of revenue are generated through membership dues, memorial donations, endowment fund earnings, and fund-raising activities.  Corporate and foundation grants fund a variety of special projects and capital improvements Membership benefits include a subscription to our bimonthly newsletter, The Grapevine; discounts on fees for museum field trips and on purchases from the museum’s gift shop; and invitations to special museum programs and events.  Interested members are invited to become acquainted with the research materials in the museum library, photograph archives, and oral history collection.
