ALAMEDA ARCHITECTURAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY

AAPS was formed in 1972 as the Alameda Victorian Preservation Society with a goal to share the joys and tribulations of proper restoration techniques for older local buildings. AAPS Programs include lectures and walking tours open to members and the public. The Annual Preservation Awards feature and celebrate both commercial and private home restoration efforts. Input by the AAPS Preservation Action Committee helps advise the City on issues affecting older buildings.

ALAMEDA MUSEUM

Alameda Museum was established by descendants of pioneer families as the Alameda Historical Society in 1948. It became a museum free to the public in 1952 and then official repository for artifacts that relate to the City’s history in 1983. 6000 images, newspapers dating back to 1880’s, and donated memorabilia are used to create exhibits and as resources for research. Programs and displays help to educate and entertain the public. The Lecture Series is usually sold out; children and adult groups enjoy docent lead museum tours; different local artists exhibit monthly in the East Gallery. 

Alameda Museum also operates The Meyers House and Garden Museum, filled with exquisite antiques, decorative arts and furnishings honoring the 1897 home and family of Henry H. Meyers, an architect of merit. For more information, please visit the Museum web site www.alamedamuseum.org
