Sedro-Woolley Museum

The Sedro-Woolley Museum has been a cherished resource for both Sedro-Woolley residents and visitors from around the country and the world for 28 years as of this summer. Because of broad local support, most exhibits were built with materials donated by members of the community, and the museum is operated by an all-volunteer staff. In October 2018, Dale Robertson, who has been a volunteer for 25 years, took over as president, while long-time president, Carolyn Freeman, remains as treasurer.

The Sedro-Woolley Museum celebrates the city’s growth from the frontier era to more recent times. Exhibits include a re-creation of a frontier town, with barn and blacksmith shop and a main street with post office, jail, saloon, bank and newspaper office. xhibits feature railroads, logging and the Skagit Steel gallery that highlights one of our major local industries, as well as Northern State Hospital and tributes to the military and the town “Founders, Movers, and Shakers.” The River and the Road exhibit features towns and activities that developed around the Skagit River and the North Cascades Highway. Volunteers are continually creating and updating exhibits, so there is always something new to see.

The Research Library is still growing, with archival collections, photographs, maps, newspapers and other materials that help researchers find ans ers to their questions about our area’s history.

The newly refurbished Gift Shop offers books and postcards about local history, T-shirts, and locally made gift items.

The Sedro-Woolley Museum’s annual membership drive is in January, but people are welcome to join in person or on-line throughout the year. Many special events offer a variety of experiences, including the Love that Train event every February that highlights the museum’s extensive model railroad set-up. Upcoming Featured Events
