DONATE

  

The San Benito County Historical Society was formed in 1956 by a group of citizens interested in forming an organization to preserve the best of San Benito County history. Since then, volunteers of the society have worked to preserve, protect and promote the history of the county. We do this through the artifacts that are preserved in our collection at the Wapple House Museum and on display at the Historical Village. Our Research Center archives contain  newspapers, family and local histories, county records and other resources related to the county history.  Volunteers in the Research Room respond to requests from all over the country for historical information related to San Benito County.
