Welcome To The Mohahve Historical Society Homepage
WHAT IS THE MOHAHVE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
It is a non-profit organization formed in 1964 whose members research, record, teach, and publish the history of the people and communities of the Mojave Desert area.
The Historical Society chose the spelling “Mohahve” from the journal of the noted military leader and explorer John C. Fremont who explored this area during 1843—1844.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY GOALS
