Elk Grove Historical Society

The Elk Grove Historical Society's mission is to preserve, gather, and share the history of Elk Grove, California.

The society's goal is to educate the community about its history and pass it on to future generations. The Elk Grove Historical Society had its beginnings in 1962 when four local women came together with the thought of preserving our rich heritage. The Historical Society was established in 1976 as the Bicentennial Committee to save the Rhoads School. Once the school was moved to Elk Grove Regional Park, saved and restored, the Bicentennial Committee became the Elk Grove Historical Society.
