Visit the Past; Learn from History

DIXON, CA (MPG) - I am a docent at our new Dixon Historical Museum which I have found to be the best place in Dixon to experience visual exhibits from the late 1800s, view portraits of farming families from the past, and learn about historical Dixon landmarks! The Museum is open to the public and groups are welcome Thursday through Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm. A docent will be happy to answer questions and share historical facts with guests. 

An individual membership is only a $20 donation. Individual and corporate donations are tax deductible. The Dixon Historical Society is a registered Non-Profit California Corporation. You can visit dixonhistoricalsociety.org for more details.

I joined the museum to help create accurate exhibits that represent all cultures, maintain existing exhibits, and enhance exhibits for everyone who walks through the doors of the museum. I am personally overjoyed to listen to visitors share their own personal experiences of living or working in Dixon, California, while visiting the museum. 

The DHS would like folks to become members and there are a variety of ways both individuals and corporations can contribute. Members receive personal invitations to exclusive member-only events hosted at the museum. Plus, donations fiscally contribute to the future of preserving the museum and preserving artifacts in the museum. If you have any questions, please drop by or send us an email at [email protected].
