This goal has been achieved! |
Our foundation must demonstrate the resources necessary to pay for the renovation and maintenance. Built in 1890 by pioneer landowner and territorial legislator John McReavy, the house is likely the oldest existing on Hood Canal. |
The restored mansion will be used as a museum for the original furnishings of John McReavy, his library and personal artifacts. The museum will also include articles from other aspects of local history, from early pioneer families to displays of early local industries. | ||||||||||||

From woodblock prints and painting to sculpture, weaving, and music, artists have found the forests and the Olympic Mountains, the estuaries and the fjord of Hood Canal, to be a source of inspiration. Over the generations, the logging and farming, oysters and shrimp, the seals and salmon runs, elk, eagles and herons have drawn all varieties of folks. The area has been home to the Twana, the Chemekums, and the S'Klallams, gathered now as the Skokomish Nation. The McReavy House provides an arts and cultural hub for the community, hosting guests and programming events in conjunction with local schools and affiliate organizations. Our hope is to celebrate and preserve this place and the essence that creates its magic. |
