VISALIA HERITAGE is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation founded in 1978 to celebrate and uphold Visalia’s rich heritage through preservation of historic structures and resources for future generations.
The Creation of Visalia’s History Museum & Cultural Center
To make this dream a reality, The Visalia Heritage Board is announcing our All Aboard Visalia Campaign for the purchase and renovation of The Depot. This $6 million campaign will secure funding for the purchase, renovation, and initial programming of this community history museum.
Gifts to the Campaign may be received in the form of three-year pledges and one-time gifts. Gifts in the form of appreciated securities and gifts-in-kind are welcome. Naming, honoring, and memorial gifts are also available to donors. Join us in making this vision a reality.
