The Montclair History Center (MHC), a private, nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization, promotes the preservation, study, and appreciation of local history.

We are stewards of three historic houses in Montclair: the Crane House and Historic YWCA (110 Orange Road), the Nathaniel Crane House (110 Orange Road), and the Clark House (108 Orange Road).

Mission
The mission of the Montclair History Center is to preserve, educate, and share. We preserve our local history through our historical buildings, artifacts, and documents. We educate the community on local history and its importance through programs, advocacy, and exhibits. We share the stories and history of the various persons and groups that have and continue to shape Montclair. Adopted February 2012.
