18th Annual California Hall of Fame

Join us for the induction of the first all-women class of the California Hall of Fame!

Thursday, December 19 at 6:00 pm

On December 19, the posthumous 18th class will be inducted in a virtual ceremony by Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, joining over 160 previously inducted Californians whose achievements have made history and changed the state, the nation and the world.

Exhibition & Online Tribute

Immediately following the induction ceremony, the California Museum will publish tribute videos honoring each member of the 18th class at CAHallofFame.org.

In 2025, the California Museum will present an artifact exhibition featuring both the 18th class and the upcoming 19th class. Inductees and posthumous inductee representatives will work closely with the Museum to co-curate their displays, in many cases contributing items from an inductee’s personal collection.
