Mattole Valley Historical Society
WELCOME!
The
Mattole Valley Historical Society (MVHS) was founded in 1999 by Laura
Cooskey and quickly grew to more than 200 members. The MVHS holds quarterly
meetings to discuss the business of the MVHS as well as hear speakers, view
slideshows, and enjoy potluck luncheons. The MVHS maintains a library,
located at the Mattole Grange. Office/library hours are usually Thursdays
from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon, as well as during
frequent Grange events (call or send an email to verify hours).
We encourage you to browse our links and view the exciting content we have
to offer you. If you have questions or comments about information you read
or pictures you see feel free to contact us.
The mission of the Mattole Valley Historical Society is to preserve and promote the study of the human and natural history of the Mattole Valley region for present and future generations.
