Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, the SANTA CLARITA VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY will continue its forward progress by opening new museum spaces, caring for our collection, growing our outreach efforts and enhancing our programming for elementary grade students. Managing ongoing restoration projects, we will enhance visitor experiences; expand exhibit space in our railroad museum and initiate the design and buildout of a new museum space on our campus that includes both static and rotating exhibits as well as targeted storytelling of previously unexplored community experiences. We will be able to build partnerships and attract more supporters and donations by enhancing our volunteer program as well as attracting filming and event production into our area to provide additional revenue. We look forward to partnering with CAC and working on our continued growth and success.
