The Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum gives you the chance to get to know the people who shaped the Santa Maria Valley through an array of artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia. They collect, preserve, and exhibit many items so that present and future generations will better understand the past of this historic area. All of the exhibits at the museum are portrayed in chronological order, starting with the Chumash Indians who originated there all the way to the 20th century. Permanent displays include ‘Four Men’ which is dedicated to the men who contributed to founding present-day Santa Maria, ‘Old Maude and the Oil Boom’ which displays artifacts from the very first producing well, and entire room that is dedicated to entrepreneur and railroader, Captain G. Allan Hancock.
