The Manhattan Beach Historical Society

The mission of the Manhattan Beach Historical Society is to research, document, collect, preserve, and display the City’s rich history; to honor the people who created our community; and to educate the next generations.

​

The Society began as the City Historical Committee in 1970 and incorporated as a non-profit, tax exempt organization on October 20, 1977. All officers and museum staff are volunteers.

​

The Manhattan Beach Historical Society museum is located in Polliwog Park. It is currently closed while we undergo a detailed inventory and update the displays. Please follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
