Visit our new exhibits on the 4th of July.  Photograph is of an early parade in front of the Stanwood bakery that was on Main Street (brick street, 270th NW)

Many of our exhibits have been undergoing extensive revisions and some are completely new. Our museum behind the Pearson House has new display hanging systems and exhibit lighting (completely LED) thanks to a Snohomish County Community Heritage grant in received in 2015.

Please make an appointment for a tour with one of our board members or volunteers to lead you through the changes.  If you come by during our open hours and we have no one available, please make an appointment.  We welcome new volunteers, especially people who would like to learn more history and share it as a tour guide.  We will match you up with someone to learn from, contact us.
