What OTPA Membership Looks Like: An Exclusive Night Inside Old Towne History

One of the perks of being a member of the Old Towne Preservation Association is access to experiences that bring Old Towne’s history and community to life — like an upcoming members-only evening offering a sneak preview of the new California Fire Museum and Learning Center Annex.

The event is part of the 2026 OTPA Annual Member Meeting, where members will gather for a recap of the past year, the 2026 Board election, and a presentation on the history of the California Fire Museum. The evening also includes refreshments and time to connect with fellow members who share an interest in preserving Old Towne Orange.

Experiences like this highlight what OTPA membership offers beyond meetings — early access to historic spaces, behind-the-scenes previews, and opportunities to engage directly with the people and places that shape Old Towne’s character. Membership supports OTPA’s mission of preserving, protecting, and enhancing Old Towne Orange, while also opening the door to exclusive events throughout the year.

For those who care about Old Towne’s past and future, joining OTPA means being part of moments like this — gathering inside historic spaces, learning their stories, and helping guide what comes next for the district.

As Old Towne continues to evolve, organizations like OTPA show how community involvement can translate into meaningful access, shared experiences, and a stronger connection to the place many call home.
