Museum Organization
The Museum is the result of the desire of MPHF (Mission Peak Heritage Foundation) and WTHS (Washington Township Historical Society) to have a permanent place to display historical artifacts each collected over the years. The two history 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.
