Pioneer Association of the State of Washington

Who we Are and What we Do

We are followers of Washington State Pioneers devoted to preserving their legacy in the form of a museum of artifacts and genealogical records.
Our objectives are:
Promotion of historical, literary, and social intercourse among its members; and, to record and
publish such facts with brief biographical sketches of pioneers for the information of
future generations.*
       *Excerpts from the Agreement of Intention to form a corporation, dated 28-August 1895
 
Today, we maintain Pioneer Hall and the collections within. We need help in documenting the lives
of early residents. Contact the Historian for information.
