STANWOOD AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY 
MISSION STATEMENT:
The Stanwood Area Historical Society seeks to discover, preserve, and display any materials which help to establish, illustrate, and interpret the economic, social, and cultural heritage of the greater Stanwood area, including if financially possible and appropriate, historic sites and properties. 
The Stanwood Area Historical Society is a 501c3 non-profit organization, charitable donations are deductible.

In the late 1990s, when Cama Beach Resort on the west side of Camano Island was sold to Washington State Parks, historical photographs and some of the artifacts found at the resort at that time were donated by Karen Hamalainen & Sandra Worthington (owners) to the Stanwood Area Historical Society.  This online exhibit features a searchable database of the Cama Beach historical photographs to learn more about what it was like in the 1930s, 40s and 50s when resorts were a large part of the Stanwood Camano local economy.  Many of the photographs were on the wall of the resort store for over 60 years showing fish catches, boating and other activities at the resort. This exhibit is a work in progress - updates and improvements are planned, contributions of information, personal accounts and more photographs are always welcome, especially those that might include boathouse operations!  Contact Us  or Cama Beach State Parks or Center for Wooden Boats staff.
