"The Chula Vista Heritage Museum is located inside the Chula Vista Public Library and is free and open to the public during library hours. Several organizations partner to create a new exhibit each year: the Friends of the Chula Vista Public Library, the South Bay Historical Society and the board of the Chula Vista Heritage Museum. Together we put on many programs and events throughout the year for all to attend. For the exhibit we also gather photographs, artifacts and eye-witness accounts of our local history."
