Saddleback Area History Society
The Saddleback Area Historical Society was formed in 1973 and became involved in efforts to save historic structures from destruction as the old town of El Toro rapidly disappeared with the subdivision of the area. Negotiations for acquisition of El Toro's first church, St. George's Episcopal Mission (1891), and the first schoolhouse, the El Toro Grammar School (1890), resulted in successful fund-raising in the community to finance moving these buildings to the Heritage Hill Historical Serrano Adobe site in 1976.
The SAHS has hosted events such as the Pioneer Roundup, which highlights the contributions of Saddleback Valley settlers. The SAHS also has a partnership with the Moulton Museum, which opened in September 2022 and features exhibits about Saddleback pioneers.
