Monterey State Historic Park Association's (MSPHA) mission is to support interpretation, educational programs, and special events at Monterey State Historic Park in downtown Monterey.

The association also assists all of the California State Parks by raising funds and increasing public awareness. We strive to restore and preserve the historic buildings and cultural heritage of Monterey so that all may experience this special place.​The association sponsors school educational programs, the Los Exploradores history summer camp, and the well-loved Christmas in the Adobes, along with other annual events located within the state historic park.
