The Antioch Historical Museum

The Antioch Historical Society is seeking passionate community leaders to join our Board of Directors in 2027.

After more than 50 years, the Antioch Historical Museum is embarking on an exciting journey of transformation, reimagining how we preserve, share, and celebrate our community's rich history for future generations. This is a unique opportunity to help guide that vision and ensure that Antioch is preserving its history, including historic buildings.

We are especially interested in individuals with experience in:
• Nonprofit organizations
• Finance and accounting
• Business or organizational leadership
• Fundraising and grant writing.

Serving on the Board is both meaningful and rewarding. You'll work alongside dedicated volunteers who are passionate about preserving our heritage while helping build a vibrant and sustainable future for the museum.

If you're ready to contribute your skills, leadership, and enthusiasm to an organization making a difference in our community, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send email to: [email protected] no later than Oct. 25 by 5 p.m. if you’re interested.

Join us as we write the next chapter of Antioch's story.

History Can't Speak for Itself. Antioch Needs Your Voice!

"The loss of landmarks like the El Campanil Theatre remind us that once pieces of our history are gone, they're gone forever."

The question is: What will future generations inherit from us?

We want the museum to be a vibrant community gathering place, a center for learning, and a source of pride for all Antioch residents.

What programs, exhibits, and events would make the museum relevant and exciting for generations to come? How can we better tell Antioch's story while creating new memories for the future?
