Tomales Regional History Center

Step In. Look Back.
Your Historic Journey Starts Here!

Housed in the iconic 1921 Tomales High School Auditorium, the Tomales Regional History Center preserves and inspires interest in the region’s history through its archives, collections, exhibitions, and interpretation; and develops an awareness of the role we all play on the greater continuum of that history. We chronicle the stories and heritage of the region spanning from Point Reyes Peninsula north to Bodega Bay, including the western reaches of Marin and Sonoma Counties.

FREE ADMISSION | OPEN WEEKENDS 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM or by appointment for research and tours.
