Chartered in 1990 as a non-profit organization,
the Manteca Historical Society, has made great strides in
providing a local historical museum of which the entire community
can be proud. Support for this endeavor has poured forth
in the form of generous contributions of photographs, documents,
artifacts, other memorabilia, volunteer work time, and money.
More of all these things are still needed, especially the
most valuable, Volunteers. A few hours each month can be
very rewarding. Regardless of one's age or length of time
in the area, Every membership and Every volunteer is important!
The society meets the second Thursday of each month at 7
p.m. in the Museum. All are invited!
