El Dorado County Historical Society

Early giving is now open!

Join us in reaching our goal during Big Day of Giving, the annual regional fundraiser for Sacramento-area nonprofits.

Your tax-deductible donation on the Big Day of Giving will support the El Dorado County Historical Society's mission to honor the people who came before us by rescuing, preserving, researching, and displaying El Dorado County’s rich history. Your contribution will ensure that its significance will be appreciated for generations to come. No matter the size, all contributions are greatly appreciated. Help us realize our goal by donating HERE.

Become a member: Join Us!

Membership is open to all households, businesses, and organizations, whether current or former residents of El Dorado County, or whose families lived in El Dorado County. Donations can be made here on our website (coming soon), at the Fountain & Tallman Museum in Placerville, and/or by emailing us at contact@edchs.org.
