City of Hemet, Santa Fe Depot & Hemet Museum History presented by the Hemet Heritage Foundation

This 8 minute video was created by the Hemet Heritage Foundation Video Concept Team and published in November of 2020 to give a glimpse into the early years of the City of Hemet. Included is the history of Hemet's Santa Fe Depot, located on the northwest corner of Florida Ave. & State Street.

The Santa Fe Depot property houses the Hemet Museum which occupies the freight house.
Currently, the Hemet Museum is CLOSED DUE TO THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. This video was produced to show the rich history of our beautiful City of Hemet. Once the Hemet Museum is open again, residents will be able to explore its local artifacts and exhibits.
