History of Lafayette California
Although LHS offers memberships, this is not a members only organization. Guests are welcome at many events, including lectures, outings to local historic sites and our annual Pot Luck dinner in the spring. We invite you to share your own stories, and come to us with your inquiries about the good old days in Lafayette.
We believe in the power of history to ignite the imagination, stimulate thought and provide enjoyment. Through our collections and programs we strive to link Lafayette’s history to the lives of people.
We work towards this goal by:
- Discovering and collecting any material which may help document or illustrate the history of Lafayette.
- Preserving that material and making it accessible to all who wish to examine or study it.
- Disseminating historical information through programs, publications, exhibits and the Internet.
Archives of photos and oral histories. Quarterly newsletter. Books published: "Images of America: Lafayette" and "The Improvers of Lafayette."
