MCHS Annual Meeting

Thursday, December 5th

Location: Historic Stearns Hotel

6:00 p.m - 8:00 p.m

2023 Gala - Justus Stearns vs. James Ludington

You are warmly invited to the annual meeting as the Mason County Historical Society honors the legacy of Rose Hawley, our first curator. Rose’s dedication laid the foundation for preserving the stories and history that have shaped our community.
In recognition of her enduring contributions, we are proud to unveil two new murals: Preserving the Past and Laying the City’s Foundation. These stunning murals celebrate not only Rose’s legacy but also the vision and impact of two of the lumber era’s most prominent businessmen. Together, they reflect the rich history we are committed to preserving for generations to come.
The annual meeting is an opportunity to celebrate our shared history and to look forward to the bright future we are building together. Your continued support as a member makes all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful for your dedication to our mission.
We look forward to sharing this special moment with you!
