Temecula Valley Historical Society

It is our mission to identify, preserve and promote the historic legacy of the Temecula Valley and to educate the public about its historical significance.

Dear Members & Public:

    It is with regret, but also with love and concern for our membersand the public, that the Society has decided to postpone our Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting, scheduled for 3/20/20, and to cancel our Monday, 3/23/20, regularly scheduled meeting, due to the coronavirus. There are now 8 confirmed coronavirus cases in our county and the City, County, and our School Districts are postponing or cancelling all non-essential activities.

    We are in an historic moment. Please take care and stay connected to us through our website and facebook page, as we figure this out together.

    With warmest wishes,

    Shari Crall
    President, Temecula Valley Historical Society
