The Lafayette Historical Society

Lafayette, CA

A Non-profit Organization since 1973

“We believe in the power of history to ignite the imagination, stimulate thought and provide enjoyment. Through our collections and programs we strive to link Lafayette’s history to the lives of people.”

We invite all members of Lafayette to join us in celebrating and exploring the ongoing history of our city. The Society will have display areas, office and storage space in the new Lafayette Library, scheduled to be completed in the November 14, 2009. In the meantime we are gathering, cataloguing, and organizing our artifacts and materials and welcome the assistance of interested local historians. Join us at our Annual Pot Luck dinner in May.
