New!
The Melba Valley Historical Society formed in 2013, one year after the City of Melba's successful centennial celebration. The goal of MVHS is to "...encourage the preservation of buildings, landmarks and memorabilia in the Melba Valley for the benefit of current residents and future generations, as well as those returning to visit, who consider this their 'home town.'" To carry out this goal, MVHS operates the Melba Valley Museum, located in the former Gardner Hotel/IOOF Lodge Hall, in downtown Melba.
