Welcome!


We are excited to announce that the Marin History Museum is starting a blog!

The Marin History Museum works to celebrate the history of Marin County and the people who have lived in it, and recognizes the innovation and creativity of these people. We were founded in 1935, and are located at the Boyd Estate in San Rafael, previously owned by Arctic explorer Louise A. Boyd. We utilize educational programs and community events to teach us to honor the past, understand the present, and imagine the future.

Visit us at 1125 B Street in San Rafael to see the many exhibitions we have on display such as the Golden Gate Bridge exhibition, in honor of the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge that occurred this year. Other exhibitions include "Marin At War!", "Marin IJ: 150 Years of Ink" and "Louise A. Boyd: Heiress and Explorer".  More information can be found at www.marinhistory.org/ under exhibitions.

As the blog begins, we will be writing about events, exhibitions, volunteers, members, and other programs that we offer, as well as the history of Marin County. We will also be posting photos and videos of our events and programs. We hope to provide a new and exciting way to experience the history of Marin and that you will read this blog frequently.
