As of January 2017, Coulterville has a Historical society. The ultimate goal of the Society is to convert the Dr. Pflasterer building into a town museum with coordination with the students at Coulterville School. The mission of the Society is to preserve the history of Coulterville. This project is going to highlight Coulterville’s rich history in a permanent, public way. It will keep students interested in our history and educate the future

 ​Much of the information that has been gathered and published on this website is derived from student research over many decades. Mr. Herman Albers' English class published the Glimpses of Coulterville journal from 1993-2009. Within these journals are many interviews with lifelong citizens of Coulterville, many of whom are no longer with us.

Beginning in 2015, Mrs. Jenny Dyson's local history class began piecing together history in a variety of ways. Other sources of information include: The Story of Coulterville by Lyman Wisely- 1929, The History of Coulterville (Maroon book) by the Coulterville History Committee, Coulterville Republican Newspapers, Pioneer Times Newspapers, Coulterville Yearbooks, Coulterville School Newspapers, and continued interviews with people in the community.
