Volunteers are welcome at the Museum work party Sunday

On Thursday, January 27, Vicki Stiles, Director of the Shoreline Historical Museum, transferred custodianship of the historic Ronald School building to the Shoreline School District under the terms of their joint agreement. As you drive by the Ronald School you will see that all signs have been removed. In four months everything in the 15,000 square foot building was moved to the old Sunset Elementary School for temporary storage.

The Museum is now spiffing up the house at 18511 Linden Ave N for occupancy during the first week of February. The gray house will become the new Museum office and will have at least one display soon. The Museum’s phone number is still 206-542-7111.

Sunday the 30th, from 11 am to 2 pm, we’ll have a work party to clean out the old salon building on the corner of 185th and Linden. Loren Day, intrepid Museum volunteer, has nearly single-handedly cleaned up the grounds.

In the near future more displays will be housed in the old salon building and we hope to begin construction soon on a new museum building. The Museum owns the two structures and also the vacant lot to the west.
