About Us

Picture
Since 1967, the Pleasant Valley Historical Society has made it its mission to identify, acquire, and provide classification and conservation measures to local historical artifacts, art, buildings, landmarks, photographs, documents and other forms of information.  PVHS is dedicated to serving the community by preserving and presenting the history of the Pleasant Valley area, as well as sharing our rich heritage with all residents of the County of Ventura, Southern California and nationally.  

Our current museum facility first opened its doors in 1988. With a charter that makes it the only broad based historical museum in the local area, PVHS is embarking on a multi-year plan to fund and acquire a greatly expanded facility to better meet the needs of the Pleasant Valley area. This facility will house and display many more exhibits, many that cannot be presently displayed because of space limitations, and allow an increased number of programs for youth and adults.  Our exciting facility plans will make PVHS a significant historical resource for those interested in the Pleasant Valley, yet our ability to accomplish these goals depends on people like you that are willing to help our good cause by becoming a member.  Please join us today. Rates are economical and your financial support is tax deductible.
