Santa Barbara Historical Arms Association (SBHAA)
Founded in 1957
Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month, at the Lions' Club in Carpinteria, CA, at 7:30 P.M. Members are encouraged to bring guests.
The displays generally follow a pre-announced theme: in recent months, members' displays have centered on military accoutrements and memorabilia of all things firearms. It is difficult to attend one of our meetings and not come away with a better understanding of our great Nation's past and its promises for the future.
