Nick Purchia is April Artist of the Month

Nick Purchia has his beautiful oil paintings on display at our museum now. The Artists’ Reception will take place on Sunday, March 30th from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. All of his paintings are available for purchase. Proceeds help to support our restoration efforts.


The museum needs repairs and significant restoration work. All 47 windows in our architecturally significant museum need to be restored. Our basement floor is cracking, our chimney needs work, and numerous other projects are needed to restore our museum to its original glory.

Please consider donating to The Long Beach Historical Society’s Restoration Fund. We seek $25,000 in our generous donations to begin restoration work on our most urgent projects. No donation is too small, and we appreciate every penny.

Our motto is: “We bring history to the community and the community to history.”
