The Kelley House Museum is the proud owner of a new heating system, thanks to the generous donations of the community and a matching grant by the Rotary Club of Mendocino. Our “antique” baseboard heaters have been replaced by a new, energy efficient propane furnace. We want to thank Robertson Heating for their professional installation and generous break on the price of installation. Stop by our cozy home to see our latest exhibits and enjoy a story by one of our docents.

The Kelley House team put together another successful silent auction. Check here periodically for unique items that did not find a home during the auction. We want to thank our volunteer team and all the generous businesses who sponsored our event. Please support them by shopping locally!
