“The Elk Grove Historical Society aims to educate the community about its history and pass it on to future generations. The museum had its beginnings in 1962 when four local women came together with the thought of preserving their rich heritage. The Bicentennial Committee, formed in 1976 to conserve the Rhoads School, later became the Historical Society. The Bicentennial Committee changed its name to the Elk Grove Historical Society after the school was relocated, rescued, and renovated in Elk Grove Regional Park. The museum offers programs for learning and living history, focusing on searching, gathering, and preserving. The historical society promotes the preservation of Elk Grove's historical assets, including its historical library.”
