The Morgan Hill Historical Society collects archival material, including artifacts, maps, photos, manuscripts, clippings and memorabilia pertaining to the local area and its inhabitants.

The first major project of the society in 1980 was to relocate and rehabilitate the 1911 Acton House, which was donated to the city for use as a community museum. Today the society owns, operates and maintains the 2.5-acre site, which is known as Villa Mira Monte. The site includes the Morgan Hill Museum (the Acton House, which was moved to the site), the Hiram Morgan Hill House, the Centennial History Trail, and the Rose Gardens. Villa Mira Monte is the only site in Morgan Hill that is listed on the Registry of National Historic Landmarks.
