The new La Quinta Museum opened on May 24, 2008. The new building includes archives, a research area, a catering kitchen, three galleries, a museum store, and a multipurpose room featuring a history-themed mural by André Blanché.

 

The two-story Spanish Colonial Revival style building will host local and traveling exhibits, programs, lectures, and cultural activities. The 9,000 square foot, 2.7 million dollar expansion was funded by the City of La Quinta.

Thanks goes to Jared Roy for creating our website!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Jared Roy has donated his time & special skills to create the La Quinta Historical Society website.  The site went live on 11/25/08.

This site is a great addition to our society and will be used to keep our members, friends and the general public aware of the history of the community of La Quinta. It will also be used to publish our events and to keep a running history of the La Quinta Museum activities.
