The Stanwood Area Historical Society operates the historic house museum known as the D. O. Pearson House, The Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center (a former Oddfellows Hall) and The Dave Eldridge Center behind the Pearson House
SAHS was incorporated in 1972 and three years later purchased the D. O. Pearson House, the home of the first Mayor of Stanwood. In 2000 the former I. O. O. F (Oddfellows) Hall (now the Floyd) and Tolin House were purchased and by late 2000 we began fundraising for major rehabilitation and additions to these buildings. We have grown and now have an ambitious schedule of activities and many new projects in the Eldridge Center and in the Floyd Norgaard Cultural Center.
Please consider joining us to be part of this growing and active heritage organization! (see our mission statement below)
