Join Us in Celebrating 90 Years of Stewarding Marin’s History

In 2025, the Marin History Museum will mark its 90th year of preserving and sharing the rich history of our county through a vast collection of photographs, documents, and artifacts. To celebrate this incredible milestone, we invite you to be part of our Annual Gala, which will be held on March 30, 2025, from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm, at the Mill Valley Community Center.

This year’s event is particularly special as it coincides with Women’s History Month. In recognition of this, we will honor the women who are currently making a profound impact throughout Marin.

We invite you to become a sponsor of this memorable evening, where you and your guests can enjoy an evening filled with delicious food, local history, and exciting auction items. As a sponsor, your company’s logo will be prominently displayed on our website, in a slideshow during the event, and in the printed program.

New This Year: All of your guests will receive a one-year membership to the Marin History Museum, allowing them to continue exploring our county’s rich heritage.

Please note, we will need the full names and contact details for all guests to ensure a smooth registration process. If you prefer, you can complete the reservation form and send it to us with payment.
