The Historical Society and Museum of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, established in 2001 by a group of retired employees, is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the department. With a mission to promote pride and loyalty among its employees, the organization collects and exhibits material evidence related to its service and traditions for the benefit of both employees and the public.

Since opening its first display room in 2005 at the San Bernardino Cal Fire Headquarters, the museum has expanded its collection to include a fleet of seven fully restored vintage fire engines. Operated by an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, the museum relies on donations to sustain its operations and maintain its commitment to safeguarding California's firefighting heritage.

The Autry

The Museum of the American West, earlier known as the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, is located in Los Angeles. Established in 1988, the museum examines the interwoven histories, cultures and mythologies of the American West and its diverse people. Its collection encompasses a broad representation of art and artifacts from the American West, including a renowned collection of ranch life and cowboy culture. The museum receives more than 370,000 visitors annually and provides free guided tours and educational activities for over 40,000 school children. The museum merged with other historical centers and formed the Autry National Center that offers a whole new way to explore galleries with audio tours. Its visitors choose the artifacts and works of art to learn more and hear brief presentations, with quotes, music and sound effects.
