The Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society was founded in 1975 as a non-profit
corporation to stimulate public interest in the history of the Santa Clarita
Valley and surrounding areas, to collect and preserve the stories and artifacts
which relate to local history, and to provide educational services to the
community. With the increasing destruction of local historic sites, the Society
realized that it must rescue, restore and conserve those important or
representative structures within the community, or they would be lost forever.
As these structures were threatened, they moved to land leased from the County
of Los Angeles adjacent to William S. Hart Park and Museum in downtown Newhall.
Thus came into being the idea of a heritage park, where the community and
visitors could enjoy the rich heritage of this unique region of Southern
California.
