About this place

A museum dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the Santa Barbara region, founded in 1932. Families can explore permanent and changing exhibitions covering over 500 years of local history, from the Chumash people through the silent film era. The museum holds paintings, furniture, costumes and decorative arts, and visitors can also see historic adobe buildings on the grounds and access the Gledhill Research Library. The museum hosts talks, exhibition openings and other events throughout the year.

If you are a member here

A membership to Santa Barbara Historical Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

  • the full ROAM list Museums of all kinds, usually at higher membership levels
  • the full NARM list Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
