Cloverdale Historical Society

The Cloverdale Historical Society, established in 1968, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of Cloverdale, California. Located in the Gothic Revival Victorian known as The Gould-Shaw House, one of the oldest documented dwellings in the area, the museum offers visitors a glimpse into the Victorian Era architectural style and the local natural and human history through its exhibits, archives, and extensive collection of artifacts and ephemera.

With a focus on celebrating the heritage of Cloverdale's first people, the society also presents the Ba bih a men Basket Collection, featuring over 100 baskets that tell the story of Vera Jack, who fought to retain fragments of her Indian culture in a time when it was frowned upon. By becoming a member or volunteering at the Cloverdale Historical Society, visitors can actively contribute to the preservation and promotion of the town's fascinating history.
