Bell Tower
At the Artesia Historical Society, we proudly safeguard the 1875 bell which was original housed in the bell tower at the Artesia Grammar School. As our oldest artifact, the bell documents the beginning of Artesia as a municipality and deserves to be seen and heard by all. Our vision is to construct a replica of the first school’s Bell Tower at the Artesia Historic District.
Your donation will make it possible to bring this piece of history to life and share the sound of 1885 with future generations. Join us in this special project and help us ring in the past!
Bus Fund Scholarship
The Artesia Historical Society proudly offers educational tours in alignment with the California State Standards, tailored for third-grade students in our community, including ABCUSD, Our Lady of Fatima School and Valley Christian Elementary School. Admission is free, ensuring every student has the chance to learn and explore.
