Buy K9 for Martinez PD
Fundraiser
The Martinez, CA Police Department needs an additional K9 however as is the case with most cities, there's no money in the budget to purchase an additional dog. These highly trained dogs are very expensive. If the local citizens can raise funds to purchase the dog, the Martinez Police Department has a source that will donate a bullet proof vest for the dog. Please help us support our beautiful city that sits on the San Francisco Bay so we can donate the necessary funds to buy a dog for our police department. Diane Boyle and I thank you for your support of our police department. Click here for more information and to make a donation.

Martinez Historical Society
The Martinez Historical Society was created in 1973 to save this 1890 cottage and its site from becoming another parking lot in downtown Martinez. Convinced that our city's history deserved a repository where papers, documents, photographs and artifacts could be housed, we prevailed upon the City of Martinez to join with us in acquiring use of the "Borland House" for our purpose. A lease was obtained from the Contra Costa College District, and we took possession in February, 1974. More...

Visit the Shell Museum
Open Tuesdays & Thursdays 10am-2pm Pacheco Blvd. at Arreba
After two years of luncheons, bus trips, and holiday excursions, the Shell Martinez Complex Alumni turned their attention to the assembling of artifacts for a museum. Shell Oil Company provided the building and financing for the initial stages of the remodeling. Alumni members and their spouses donated their time and expertise from carpentry, to plumbing, to gardening, to computer programming, and spent hundreds of hours outfitting the museum. All pictures and objects are identified and catalogued and the information stored in a computer. The museum is staffed by Alumni members who also conduct tours. The museum was dedicated and opened for visitors September 22, 1990 and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More...

John Muir National Historic Site
Fruit Rancher, Family Man, Writer... Father of the National Park Service!
John Muir played many roles in his life, all of which helped him succeed in his role as an advocate for Nature. As America's most famous naturalist and conservationist, Muir fought to protect the wild places he loved, places we can still visit today. Muir's writings convinced the U.S. government to protect Yosemite, Sequoia, Grand Canyon and Mt. Rainier as national parks.
