Curator - Tommy Gelinas was born in Burbank California and
was raised in Sepulveda, Porter
Ranch and later in Van Nuys before
settling in Sherman Oaks California
where he and his wife have
raised their 4 children. Tommy’s
fascination with the history of
the San Fernando Valley begun
at a very young age. He began
collecting artifacts from our valley’s
past a little over 20 years ago and
now the collection is the largest of its kind pertaining to the
San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas. One of Tommy’s
dreams was not only to preserve and protect our local history
but to open a museum to showcase the collection. In late
2012, the Valley Relics Museum was established as a Non
Profit and opened its doors to the public in October 2013.
Through hard work and perseverance, the San Fernando
Valley now has a spot light on its amazing accomplishments
and rich history.
