THE TUSTIN AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY WAS FOUNDED IN 1976 FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRESERVING THE RICH AND COLORFUL HISTORY OF OUR LOCAL AREA. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE RELY ON MEMBERSHIP DUES AND PROCEEDS FROM OUR ANNUAL OLD TOWN HOME AND GARDEN TOUR SINCE THERE IS NO ADMISSION CHARGE TO VISIT THE MUSEUM. THESE FUNDS ALLOW US TO MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE OUR MUSEUM AND PROVIDE PROGRAMS TO STIMULATE HISTORICAL INTEREST IN THE AREA. TO PROTECT HISTORICAL PAPERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND TO CONTINUE OUR HISTORY IN A BOX PROGRAM FOR OVER 100 THIRD GRADE CLASSES IN THE TUSTIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
