Mission Statement
We collect, preserve, and share the history of the Snoqualmie Valley, so present and future generations can understand our past.
About This Cause
The Snoqualmie Valley Museum, serving Duvall, Carnation, Fall City, Preston, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Cedar Falls and Snoqualmie Pass for over 85 years, came into being as the result of the initial work of one woman, Ada Snyder Hill. She came into the Valley in 1910 to teach school and early on began collecting the historic items that made up the exhibit she arranged for the 1939 celebration of the platting of North Bend. They were the nucleus for the present day collection that includes cherished artifacts and anecdotes from all corners of the Snoqualmie Valley. The first home for the items was a room in the North Bend High School where Mrs. Hill was a teacher. There, for nearly the next decade, she continued to add items as they were donated and, without help, cataloged them, arranged the displays and took visitors on tours. The collection has since grown and was moved to a larger building. It is presently housed at 320 Bendigo Blvd S in North Bend in the Gardiner Weeks Memorial Park. Today, our vision is to be a vibrant educational center our vision aspires to link past, present, and future with stories told through media and exhibits that build strong community ties. Through inclusivity, education, and preserving cultural heritage, we foster a local dialogue and sense of place that reaches a broader national audience. Our educational outreach grows with our community and welcomes curiosity and connection that celebrates the unique experience of the Snoqualmie Valley.
