The Mokelumne Hill History Society was founded in 1985 to preserve and promote the history of Mokelumne Hill. Now sharing renovated downtown building with the Mokelumne Hill Branch Library, the Society focuses its efforts on preserving its archive collection and serving as a resource for the community.
Over 550 photographs have been cataloged by topic and placed in acid-free binders, with several hundred more still in process. Original store ledgers, diaries, and minutes of early community groups are archived, along with more recent town memorabilia. We keep track of the town's history and conduct oral histories with our elders. Recently, we've begun sharing some of this online. Please visit the History section for more.
We've also posted the Mokelumne Hill Cemetery database online at www.calaverashistory.org - click the link that says Cemetery Project.
A small group of dedicated History Society researchers meets Wednesday afternoons, and is always looking for more information and volunteers. Please contact us via the site, or write the Society at PO Box 267, Mokelumne Hill 95245.
