Washington Township Museum of Local History

Welcome

The Museum is the result of the desire of Mission Peak Heritage Foundation (MPHF) and Washington Township Historical Society (WTHS) to have a permanent place to display the historical artifacts collected over the years. The two historical organizations formed the Museum of Local History Guild and elected a Board of Directors. The Guild board ensures that education, archival research and preservation of the historical resources of Washington Township are the focus of the museum.
