The La Puente Valley Historical Society was established in October 1960 and officially incorporated in 1966. It is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization designated as a 501(c)(3).
On November 4, 1969, the Society secured a 25-year lease (with an option for an additional 25 years) on the Rowland Home and the Dibble Museum. These properties had been bequeathed to the Hudson School District by John Rowland’s granddaughter, Lilian Hudson Dibble.
The Society commenced restoration efforts on the home, cookhouse, and museum, with the assistance of numerous community organizations. A Docent Group was trained to provide guided tours of the home and museum.
Presently, the Society convenes monthly meetings to engage the community in a variety of events and resources that illuminate the history of our community. Additionally, the Society actively engages in discussions regarding the ongoing restoration of the Rowland Home.
At La Puente Valley Historical Society, we believe that understanding our past is crucial for building a better future. Our organization offers a wealth of resources, including archives, exhibitions, and educational programs. We invite you to explore our collections and participate in events that celebrate our community's rich history. Join us in preserving the stories that shape our identity.
