About Alpine Historical Society

The Alpine Historical and Conservation Society operates the John DeWitt Museum in Alpine, California, where visitors explore exhibits and artifacts that document the area's heritage. The museum showcases the contributions of the various cultural, ethnic, religious and social groups that have comprised the Alpine community over time. Guests can view museum exhibits, browse scanned newspapers, and read documented people and stories from the region's past. The organization maintains pioneer houses as part of its developing Heritage Park, emphasizing preservation of structures and sites of historical significance. The all-volunteer nonprofit also works to conserve natural resources and parkland in the Alpine area. The museum operates limited hours on select dates, with private tours available by arrangement. The society welcomes volunteers to serve as docents and assist with building restoration and preservation projects.
