The “Norco Historical Society” was founded on March 16 of 1987 and is a nonprofit, privately funded, membership organization. Its mission is to engage the public’s interest and participation in collecting, preserving, and presenting art, artifacts, and written materials relevant to the history of Norco, California and to support historical research, publication, and educational activities.

 The “NHS” maintains, preserves, and shares an unparalleled collection of photographs, letters, diaries, manuscripts, business records, fine art, newspapers, and books. Your donations, through gifts, membership, and museum store purchases, support educational programs and historical collections documenting Norco’s dynamic and evolving history.

 Individual contributions support almost 50% of the Society’s regular budget, with the balance of funding coming from private foundations and earned income. The Society receives no regular funding from the state. The majority of the Society’s expenses fund public programs, including collections, exhibitions, publications, and education.
