The Washington Historical Society was officially founded in 1978, though groups focused on preserving Washington's history existed long before that.  The society was able to buy its current building in 1995 and hired a full time director in 2001.

Besides its many exhibits and archives, the museum also houses the Four Rivers Genealogical Society whose services are utilized by people across the United States and in several foreign countries.

Membership in the society is $25 for an individual, $35 for a family and $50 for a business.  Dues are renewable annually.  Membership includes a 10% discount on books and other gift shop items.

The museum is closed from December 24th through February in order to develop new exhibits.
