The Belmont Historical Society was founded in 1987 as a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting and preserving artifacts of Belmont's history. In 2026 the Historical Society became an affiliate organization of the City of Belmont's Parks, Recreation and Culture Department. We are located in the back of the Manor House in Twin Pines Park. Handicapped access is available in the front of the building.

While some of our archive has been digitized and is available online, the majority of our collection (photographs, articles, oral histories, etc) is stored in the History Room, which is available for browsing during open hours. Belmont (McCarthy) and Heritage of the Wooded Hills (Dewing), both written by local residents about Belmont's past, are available for purchase.
