About Us

The Pittsburg Historical Society and Museum is a 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization focused on preserving and sharing our history since 1961 and helping to make the world around us a better place. With the help of our tireless volunteer staff, we share the history of our community through museum tours, Old Town tours,  3rd grade thru Jr. College student tours, book signings for local authors, and we offer extensive archives for researchers.  Above is a photo of the original museum building that was  located on Civic Avenue.  The building was a recreation hall donated to the museum by the Standard Oil Company in 1963 and came from the old Los Medanos pumping station.

Are you passionate about our local history? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you perhaps as a docent,  tech support or digital archiving which is greatly needed.  We're excited to have you join the team!

Whether you assist through being a member, monetary donations to help keep the lights on, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, THANK YOU. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
