Our Mission

Exploring Lopez Island History

The Mission of the Lopez Island Historical Society is to collect, preserve, interpret, and share local history to increase awareness and appreciation of this resource for the benefit of future generations.

Please join us in honoring and remembering our community

We have created a beautiful outdoor space at the museum to remember our community. The six posts will hold three sizes of anodized aluminum plaques – black with silver print. Help us populate it with the names of loved ones – friends, family, ancestors, teachers, mentors, neighbors… anyone you would like to honor.
