The Carmel Heritage Society is a non-profit organization serving the community of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Our mission is to protect, preserve and promote the cultural heritage of the community in a way that encourages public recognition and participation so that people will have a greater knowledge and appreciation of the community of Carmel-by-the-Sea and its sphere of influence. Our office and museum is located at Sixth Avenue and Lincoln Street in the First Murphy House, the first project built by Michael J. Murphy in 1902.
