Community Involvement Share your talents! We are always looking for new instructors with
innovative program ideas. If you have a talent, specialty, or area of expertise, we invite you to teach for us. Call today to discuss how we can help you share your talents.
Share your ideas! Maybe you don’t have a talent you want to share with us, but perhaps you have a great idea of what you would like to see us offer. Let us know!
Helping Hands! We are always looking for volunteers who would like
to improve the quality of life in our community. Anyone who likes landscaping, weeding, or planting flowers and would like to volunteer their time should contact us. Gardening not your thing? What about painting or minor construction? If you, a group you belong to, or perhaps a neighborhood group have an interest in helping us out, give us a call.

of Washington’s “Fair Play in Community Sports Act” (codified as RCW 49.60.500, 505 and 35.21.910) that prohibits discrimination against any person in a community athletic program on the basis of sex. Any questions or comments should be directed to Chuck Denney, Parks and Recreation Director.

HISTORIC HOMES Brewmaster's House (formerly Henderson House) The Brewmaster’s House was built in 1905 for William and Louise Naumann. Mr. Naumann was a brewmaster at the Olympia brewery just across the river. Considered quite modern for its day, the house boasted hot and cold running water, a coal-fired boiler, and electric lights in each room. The design of the home was largely inspired by the Victorian age, but was much less elaborate than earlier Queen Anne examples. The exterior of the home had changed over the years, but it was restored to its original appearance after the City of Tumwater acquired the house in 1977. The interior changed very little and provides a wonderful look at how Tumwater residents lived in the early 1900s. Interpretive signs give the visitor a thorough history of the house and its various owners.
Brewmaster's House is currently closed to the public.
For more information, please contact: Karen L. Johnson, Curator, Schmidt House Olympia Tumwater Foundation | PO Box 4098 | Tumwater WA 98501 (360) 890-2299 | karen@olytumfoundation.org | www.olytumfoundation.org
Crosby House Come visit the Crosby House Museum, Tumwater's oldest historic home, located across from the Brewmaster's House in Tumwater's Historic District at 702 Deschutes Way SW. This charming 1860 house was built by Bing Crosby's grandfather, Nathaniel, for his new bride, Cordelia Smith. Now owned by the City of Tumwater, it is managed by Olympia Chapter #4, Daughters of the Pioneers of Washington who have completely furnished the house with period pieces. A delightful addition is a 1"-scale, fully furnished miniature replica of the house.
The Crosby House is currently closed to the public.
