Carpinteria Valley Museum of History

The Carpinteria Valley Historical Society is excited to announce the grand re-opening of both the historical museum exhibit galleries and the monthly Museum Marketplace on Saturday, June 26 from 8:00 am -3:00 pm at the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, 956 Maple Ave.

“The flea markets are cherished community events which have been shuttered since March of 2020. We look forward to bringing them back to the community and welcoming our large family of vendors and treasure hunters,” according to museum director, David Griggs.

The museum has continued to accept donations of goods during the closure, and so hundreds of new treasures will await eager shoppers. Notable donations include gifts from the estates of two late historical society members, and include vintage dolls and toys, Asian art, antique furniture, an exquisite wall clock, and even original art by renowned local artist, the late Judy Mulford.  “Our museum booths will absolutely overflow with treasures awaiting new homes,” according to Griggs.

The marketplace also features 60 vendors offering shoppers bargains on antiques, collectibles, hand-crafted gifts, plants, and vintage goods of every description—including furniture, tools, jewelry, books, clothing, toys and much more.

The museum exhibit galleries and historical displays have been thoroughly cleaned, and new interpretive texts have been installed.  There will also be many antique quilts on exhibit and available for purchase.

With the COVID vaccinations rates still in the 50 percentile of the general population, Griggs asks that both shoppers and vendors still follow health safety protocols regarding facial masks and social distancing during an event such as this, even outside.

 Come help celebrate the grand re-opening of the museum! This is a fun-filled, family-friendly event!
