Rotating Exhibits—Gallery

The Community Exhibits Program of the Museum was created in 1997 to allow community organizations to present exhibitions in the Gallery Room of the Museum. More than fifty exhibits have been presented by a diverse group of community entities, including the Santa Paula Historical Society, the Santa Paula Society of the Arts, the De Colores Art Group, the Heritage Valley Quilters, the Santa Paula High School Art and History Departments, and the Santa Paula Women’s History Project.

Odd Fellows Exhibit
Runs: March 28 - July 25 (EXTENDED through September)

The Santa Paula Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Lodge #314 received it’s Charter in 1884 and was originally located at the Cleveland Hall. When downtown Santa Paula had the great fire in 1903, the Cleveland Hall, as did many other buildings, burned to the ground.

The Odd Fellows began construction of the new lodge and was completed in 1905. The Clock Tower, which is on top of the Lodge was an afterthought and received some of its funding with the help of the people of Santa Paula.

The Odd Fellows are having an exhibit of memorabilia and regalia as well as many pictures and uniforms. There will also be one of the original clock faces and a wooden water pump which was recently found in the crawl space below the Main Street side of the building.

This exhibit is filled with lots of fun items from the club including items never before seen by the public! Colorful and intriguing, this exhibit feels like it is right out of a Dan Brown book!

Open during museum hours and will be extended until September.
