Members of the San
Marino Historical Society share a common interest in the collection,
preservation and teaching of the area's history. The Thurnher
House at Lacy Park houses the organization's offices and archives, including
historic displays, documents, tapes, books, photos, oral histories and
microfilms. Members continue to add, catalogue and file objects and
information that have been collected or given to the San Marino
Historical Society. The Thurnher House is open to public view on the
first and third Sundays of every month from
12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Click

While the historical society's research is focused on San Marino, it
also covers subjects in Southern California and, indeed, the rest of
the state. The San Marino Historical Society publishes a quarterly
newsletter, "The Grapevine." Three or four lectures and programs are
offered to the public each year, free of charge. The Society is also
actively involved in presenting historical docent tours and lectures
throughout San Marino, upon request. |
