Welcome

The West Sacramento Historical Society was established in 1993 to preserve the history of West Sacramento and to provide an opportunity for individuals and groups to learn about and experience the rich culture of our past. The WS Historical Society established the Museum and Visitor Center, the first museum in West Sacramento, on February 20, 2005.

In addition to exhibits, we provide special screenings and book signings for projects relating to West Sacramento history. Our staff are also available for speaking engagements.

WSHS is supported by memberships and donations, and receives some funding from the City of West Sacramento.

News! Bryte and Broderick Community Action Network (BBCAN) and the West Sacramento Historical Society (WSHS) have entered into an agreement with Yolo County Housing for a shared office space at River Bend Manor - 664 Cummins Way, West Sacramento (map). This means a public office presence for BBCAN in the community and, for WSHS, an opportunity to share space with a collaborative partner following closure of the WSHS office at Jefferson and Merkley. The two organizations will present programs and volunteer opportunities at River Bend Manor, as well as activities that support the senior residents. .
