General Info
The Santa Barbara Historical Museum is located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara just two blocks off of State Street. Our galleries may be modest in size, but they are packed with history! Santa Barbara's 450 years of history are evident in the many artifacts, paintings, photgraphs, and films that make up The Story of Santa Barbara. In addition to the permanent collection, our Sala Gallery is a rotating exhibition space which features a new exhibit every four months. There's always something new at the museum! The Museum is also home to two historic adobes - one that was built in 1836, and Casa Covarrubias which was built in 1817 and even served as the Capital of Alta California for 2 months! The Santa Barbara Historical Museum is located on the corner of De la Guerra and Santa Barbara streets, and we have a free parking lot next to the musuem entrance on De la Guerra St. Open 10am-5pm, Tuesday-Saturday and 12pm-5pm Sunday (closed Mondays)There is a suggested $7 donationThe Santa Barbara Historical Museum is located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara just two blocks off of State Street.

A good place to stop first when checking out the landmarks and history of Santa Barbara. A great overview of SB history, and they also had a lovely painting exhibition on display in their rotating gallery. Very nice and helpful staff. I highly recommend visiting. Admission free, $5 suggested donation.
