Watch the McReavy House story (video)
An Enduring Era
McReavy House remains a centerpiece of regional history since John McReavy settled in the Northwest in 1861. After establishing a successful timber enterprise on the Union River, he constructed this elegant Victorian home in 1890 alongside his wife, Fannie in Union, Washington.
Their residence served as a welcoming beacon for early travelers arriving by water and land, establishing a tradition of hospitality and community gathering that we continue to honor today through preservation and for storytelling.
We are a dedicated group of volunteers and Board Members committed to restoring this historic home so it may continue to serve as a place for the community to gather, celebrate local history, enjoy music and special events, and build a vibrant membership for generations to come. Thank you for your patience and support as we continue ongoing restoration, construction, and upkeep efforts.
We welcome you to visit us for a public tour Memorial Day Weekend - Labor Day Weekend on Saturday & Sunday form 1-4PM. Feel free to reach out to us for a private tour - we try our best to accommodate.
