About Us

The Natural History Museum of Santa Maria (formerly the Samuel J. Perry Natural History Museum) is a non-profit organization, which was founded in September, 1996 through an endowment made in memory of Samuel J. Perry.  At that time, it began with only a dream and a website, in actual fact. The dream was to provide science/natural history enrichment for the public schools, with “live” hands-on experiences for the kids.
