Support Us With Your Treasure

 The work we do is made possible by our generous donors! Foothills Historical Society is fully non-profit. All funds raised through giving and membership go directly towards our work.

Why is becoming a member important?

Since its founding, Foothills Historical Society and Museum has been run by volunteers and funded by memberships, donations, and small targeted grants. This has enabled the Society to remain financially stable through the recent economic and pandemic

hard times.

FHS has an agreement with the City of Buckley that is long term use of the main museum building and the park land with the logging camp. Per that agreement there is no admission fee to the museum or the logging camp. The museum offers information and maps to visitors at no charge. The quarterly newsletter VILLAGE VOICES is sent first to members via email or snail mail. Then it is offered to the public via our website and Facebook. Membership is required to be a board member.

If everything is free, what is the benefit of joining?

As a non-profit FHS has an elected Board of Directors of 4 officers and 3 directors to manage the business side. The Curator and Committee Chairs handle the museum collections, archives, events, and maintenance. The Board meets the first Tuesday at 11:00 am in the Museum. Meetings are open for anyone to attend. Members have a voice in planning the future of the Society as a whole. Every third Thursday members non-members can submit an idea, concern, event, or topic for open discussion. The Board and Museum Curator take those ideas and develop plans to implement them. The mural on the outside wall came out of one such discussion.
