Interested In Working At The Amazing Kearney Mansion?

The Fresno County Historical Society at Kearney Mansion Museum specializes in providing unique historical and educational experiences for the overall community.

Since our inception in 1919, the mission of the Fresno County Historical Society has been to engage, inform and educate the public through the collection, preservation and interpretation of the stories, images, and resources of our unique region to better understand our past and help shape our future. Our offices are located on the 2nd floor of the Servants’ Quarters building at Kearney Mansion.

The tours of Kearney Mansion, hosted by the Fresno County Historical Society, tell the stories of the San Joaquin Valley’s agricultural beginnings through the life and times of M. Theo Kearney – an agricultural pioneer who came to be known as the Raisin King of California.

We offer field trip options to various grade levels and instill interest within Fresno County’s history. The Society offers a wide variety of programs for both adults and children, including hosting field trips, family events, home school events, lectures, and more. Events and festivals, like the Fields of Fresno Ag Tours, the Mother’s Day Tea, the Great Kearney Smoke Out BBQ, and the Christmas at Kearney events are presented and enjoyed by community members and travelers every year. 

If you love sharing information with people, have enthusiasm for local history and a drive to become a “subject expert”, this is the job for you!
