Atascadero Historical Society

The Atascadero Historical Society is an organization dedicated to preserving the unique history of the Atascadero Colony and the broader community of Atascadero, California. The Society owns and maintains the Colony House Museum, an original 1919 Colony Home, as well as the Hattie Prather Rose Garden. These facilities serve as educational resources, helping to teach visitors about the origins and development of the Atascadero community since its founding in 1913. Although primarily focused on historical preservation, the Society offers educational opportunities that can benefit homeschool families looking for historical and local cultural content, making it a valuable resource for embedding real-world history lessons into homeschooling curricula. **Offerings:** - Access to a historical museum and garden. - Educative tours and exhibits on local history. - Opportunities for homeschool groups to engage with historical content.
