Museum of Riverside

The Trujillos at La Placita were the first non-native settlement in Riverside, so they not only mark a significant milestone in our city’s history, but in the history we share and the stories we tell through our exhibitions and programs. The items we hold in trust for everyone that relate to the Trujillos are an extremely important aspect of our Museum’s collections. They help tell of the beginnings of our city before it was formally founded in 1870.
