Telling Shasta County's story—our story—from the point of view of women, the working class, African-Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants. The Shasta Historical Society was formed in 1930 and incorporated as a non-profit in 1951. The mission of the Shasta Historical Society is, “To actively preserve, promote, and bring life to the history of Shasta County.” The Shasta Historical Society encourages and inspires the exploration of Shasta County history through programs, publications, collections, and research services. As an educational and research institution, the Shasta Historical Society communicates and promotes our shared local history. Visitors become witnesses to history and explore the dynamics of local heritage. At the Shasta Historical Society we have been striving to make Shasta County a special place to live, work and visit since 1930. - See more at: http://shastahistorical.org/
