The Amador County Historical Society (ACHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of Amador County, California. Founded in 1944, ACHS collects and preserves artifacts, historical papers, photos, and ephemera related to the county's gold rush history since 1848. The society operates the Amador County Museum, which houses a diverse collection of items including freight and buckboard wagons, carriages and buggies, blacksmithing tools, and other historic equipment.

ACHS actively encourages citizen support for historical preservation through newsletters, their website, and other media. In addition to managing the museum, the society has been involved in various preservation campaigns, such as the preservation of the old county hospital and the acquisition of half interest in the Amador Central Railroad. With volunteer help, the museum is now open on a regular basis, providing visitors with a fascinating glimpse into Amador County's past.
