The Southwest Seattle Historical Society cares for artifacts and archives that help tell the stories of the people and communities of the Duwamish Peninsula. Because these are items held in the public trust in perpetuity, it is important for us to carefully curate objects within our limited resources of space, time, and staffing.
Please help us grow our collections sustainably by only donating an item through prior arrangement with our collections staff. Contact us at museum@loghousemuseum.org or 206.350.0999.
