Monterey History and Art Association (MHAA)

Organization Description

Since 1931, the MHAA's primary mission has been to help preserve the irreplacable reminders of Monterey's colorful heritage. The Association has preserved more historic adobes than any where else in California. The Association instituted Monterey's historical landmark program and created the Path of History, which guides visitors to historic sites of Old Monterey. It has an extensive collection of furnishings, costumes, books, manuscripts, and other artifacts. The Monterey History and Art Association is the non-profit umbrella organization that operates the Museum of Monterey.
