Visit the Museum
It's time to put the Perris Valley Historical Museum on your "To See" list.
And what would a Museum be without (some) space to show its collections? The newly restored Perris Depot is now the home of the Perris Valley Historical Museum. It is located at the corner of 4th and 'D' Street in the downtown area. The first exhibit on display was our own Dennise, dressed appropriately for the controlled environment conditions. Regular breaks are given for health reasons.
A fundamental goal of any Museum is to extend your reach to people through Community involvement. The Perris Valley Historical Museum is doing just that by developing new programs that involve "travelling collections".
Our latest endeavor is with the Perris Elementary School District (PESD) utilizing the recently aquired Perris Centennial Exhibit Collection.
The highly spirited Superintendent Vince Ponce, his nine school Principals and many Teachers are helping the PVHM develop a "rotating" system that allows sections of the Perris Centennial Exhibit to be displayed at the nine school sites and Admin offices; simultaneously!
The D Street Documentary produced and directed by Borderline Hollywood is now available. Contact Us to get your own personal copy.
