The Marin History
Museum’s Collections

The Marin History Museum celebrates the traditions of innovation and creativity of the people of Marin County. Through exhibitions and educational programs, the Museum inspires honor for the past, an understanding of the present and imagination of the future.

Since 1935 the Marin History Museum (formerly the Marin County Historical Society) has been dedicated to collecting, preserving and exhibiting the unique artifacts and stories that characterize Marin County. In support of its mission, the Marin History Museum maintains the historic Boyd Gate House and cares for several permanent collections including a library and archive, history collection and photograph collection. The Museum’s collection continues to grow thanks to the support and donations of community members and local historical organizations.
