NAMED PRESERVATION GIFT

Historic White Pine Village is home to 30 historic structures spread across 12 acres — an 1895 one-room schoolhouse, a working blacksmith shop, a turn-of-the-century general store, an authentic steam locomotive, a Victorian-era doctor’s office, and more. These buildings are the living fabric of Mason County’s pioneer history.

Maintaining these structures is an ongoing, year-round responsibility. The Adopt-a-Building program allows individuals, families, and businesses to take direct ownership of one structure’s preservation. For just $50 a year, your generosity ensures that one of these irreplaceable buildings remains in excellent condition for the visitors — and school groups — who experience it every season.

• Direct Preservation Funding — 100% of your $50 goes to the upkeep and preservation of your adopted building
• Recognition Plaque — Your name or your family/business name displayed on a plaque on the adopted structure
• Preservation Updates — Regular updates on the maintenance work and restoration efforts at your building
• Exclusive Event Invitations — Invitations to special events at the Village as a recognized building steward
• Annual Renewal — Continue your stewardship year after year for ongoing recognition and impact

The Village’s buildings were constructed in the 19th century. Some are originals relocated from around Mason County; others are authentic period reproductions. All require regular maintenance, weatherproofing, structural upkeep, and restoration to remain safe and accurate for the thousands of visitors — including school groups — who walk through them each season. Your adoption makes that possible.
