Modesto History Center
The mission of the Modesto History Center is to support the well-being of the people of Modesto through research, preservation, and education about the city’s history and historic built environments. We do this in a way that builds community relationships, explores contemporary issues, and supports planning for a better future, and is of, by, and for the people of Modesto.
