Welcome to the Crockett Historical Society and Museum
The Crockett Historical Society was founded in 1976 and opened the Museum in September of 1981, as part of the celebration of Crockett’s 100th anniversary.
The California and Hawaiian (C&H) Sugar Refinery came to Crockett in 1906 and occupies the building built as a flourmill by Abraham Starr in the 1880s.
The Museum is located in the former railroad depot, which was built next to the sugar refinery in 1929 and is still owned by C&H.
Today, C&H donates the depot for the exhibition of Crockett artifacts and memorabilia, and maintains the outside of the building itself. For more information, please call the Museum (510-787-2178) or visit the Virtual Tour page (coming soon).
