Great Museum! Staff was friendly and had helpful recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and other galleries. Temporary exhibition was stunning California impressionist paintings, I'm a painter and it was very inspiring. Someone I met in the galleries said they came from Montana to visit this exhibition and I can see why.

Admission was a suggested donation of $5

The Santa Barbara Historical Society is a hidden gem. This well preserved museum is a great place to rent for weddings and other special events. The staff (although ever changing) is great and accommodating. Inside there are old photographs of Santa Barbara as well as some textiles. A must see for every visitor to Santa Barbara.

I went to a couple of weddings at this location. What a beautiful place. From the street you cannot tell how nice this is. It is hidden behind historical buildings and makes for a great setting for small or large weddings. ...
