Get Involved

The Mountain View Historical Association has long realized the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. This has been made possible by the support and members of our community.

There are several ways of getting involved. Whether you volunteer your time, your knowledge, or your skills, we welcome and appreciate your involvement. It is through the participation from volunteers that we are able to share our community’s deep and meaningful heritage.

Attend an Event

Newcomers, old-timers, and everyone in between are all welcome at our events! Get to know us while learning about our region’s fascinating history by attending one of our frequent walking tours of historic Downtown Mountain View, our quarterly membership meetings on Zoom or at the Adobe Building, or just saying “hello” at one of the many community events where we set up an informational table—there’s plenty of ways to meet the MVHA!

Our events are typically free and open to the public and shared on Facebook and Eventbrite.
