THE CAMBRIA HISTORICAL MUSEUM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Museum Hours are Thursday Through Sunday, 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM (Closed Christmas and New Years Day)

The Cambria Historical Museum is loacated at the corner of Burton Drive and Center Street in Cambria's East Village

The Cambria Historical Museum endeavors to educate Cambria area residents and visitors about the history of the various peoples who have lived in the area and The Guthrie-Bianchini House and Gardens for the purpose of broadening the understanding and deepening the appreciation of the community and its visitors. In addition, it will provide a gathering place for small social functions and serve as a community park.

Restoration of the Guthrie-bianchini House is essentially complete and the museum is scheduled to open very shortly. However, we are still in need of additional funds required to pay off our mortgage which amounts to about $170,000.The Cambria Historical Society is currently working on raising this amount through further grants, donations, picket sales and engraved brick sales. Please give us your support and help us finish this very important project. You can help us by joining CHS at the highest level you can possibly afford.

On Friday, September 2, 2005, CHS held a brief ceremony to dedicate the new picket fence on the Burton Drive side of the Guthrie-Bianchini House. The pickets are made from one-inch thick old growth redwood. Using one of the old pickets as a template, new pickets were fabricated. Each picket has a plaque on it containing the name of the person who donated it or the person to be honored by the donation. At the ceremony, the initial batch of about seventy pickets was installed and about seventy more were installed on April 28, 2006.

All of the remaining pickets on the Burton Drive side of the property have been sold. We are now selling pickets on the Center Street side of the property for $125 each. Order your pickets here

CHS is also selling engraved bricks which will be placed in the garden paths that surround the Cambria Hisorical Museum and will be a lasting monument to your support. We are selling 4" x 8" bricks with your message engraved in all capital letters. Each brick costs $150. You can have up to 18 characters (letters, spaces, commas, dashes) on each line. Up to three lines are permitted on each brick. Order your bricks here
