About San Anselmo Historical Museum

The San Anselmo Historical Museum preserves and shares the history of San Anselmo through exhibits, collections, and research resources.

The museum maintains oral histories from community members and hosts historical walking tours that guide visitors through the town. A significant resource available at the museum is digitized access to the San Anselmo Herald, a local newspaper published from 1912 to 1946 that documented marriages, deaths, business openings, town council actions, and real estate transactions. The Herald offers insights into daily life and events across San Anselmo and Ross Valley communities. The museum also provides historical articles and research materials, along with a timeline of town history. Located in San Anselmo, California, the museum serves residents and researchers interested in local heritage.
