News release
The city of Santa Clarita is presenting “Canyon Country History Captured” by the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society, on display now through April 29, at the Canyon Country Community Center (18410 Sierra Highway).
This photographic exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Canyon Country’s past, highlighting what the area looked like long before the Community Center was built. Showcasing historic sites such as Dillenbeck’s Market, the Solemint Store, Lang Station and the former Highway 6 now known as Sierra Highway, the exhibition reveals the layered history that surrounds the site today.
Through archival photographs from the society’s collections, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the sense of place that defines Canyon Country. Images recall traveling families stopping at local garages, miners working the surrounding hills, classrooms built over former airstrips and wildlife parks that once welcomed visitors.
Founded more than 50 years ago, the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society maintains the Santa Clarita History Center at William S. Hart Park and works with community partners to safeguard historic buildings, artifacts and archives.
