You can become a Student, Senior, or Teacher Member of the Fresno City & County Historical Society for $45 a year.

FORTY-FIVE. DOLLARS. A YEAR.

That's one small investment in a HUGE mission: preserving the history of Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley.
We're talking historic artifacts, incredible stories, cultural exhibitions, educational opportunities, and the places that connect us to the people who came before us.
You don't have to own a vintage car, wear suspenders, or know what year every building was constructed.

You just have to care about where we came from. Ready to make it official?

YOUR AFTERNOON PLANS JUST GOT SUSPICIOUS.
You could spend the afternoon doing something perfectly ordinary.
Or you could step into 1931 at The Archive on Kern, enjoy a fabulous meal, meet a room full of suspicious characters and try to solve a murder.

We know. Decisions are hard.
Gather your crew, dress the part and get ready for an afternoon of Mobsters, Molls & Murder. Just remember: the person sitting next to you might be the killer.

MURDER BEFORE DINNER? ABSOLUTELY.

Who says you have to wait until dark to get yourself into trouble?
The Matinee Mystery Dinner at The Archive on Kern is bringing murder, mystery, cocktails, clues, suspects and 1931-style scandal to your afternoon.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come prepared to accuse someone with absolutely no evidence whatsoever. It's definitely not your grandmother's afternoon tea, darling. This is simply murderous!
