The Tustin Area Historical Society was founded in 1976 for the purpose of preserving the rich and colorful history of the Tustin and North Tustin areas. In addition to our collections and archives, we created and maintain the Tustin Area Museum in downtown Tustin.

In addition to having a physical presence with displays and artifacts of earlier Tustin, we offer a comprehensive website which features over a hundred articles, scores of vintage photos, and background on local history for the benefit of online researchers, teachers, students, and others who are just curious.
