Issaquah History Museums is a nonprofit organization that preserves and shares the history of Issaquah and the surrounding area through its two historic sites, the Issaquah Depot Museum and the Gilman Town Hall Museum. The organization serves residents and visitors by offering exhibits, guided tours, history hikes, and programs that illuminate Issaquah’s development and the lives of its residents, with hundreds of artifacts and photos available online. Founded in 1972 in Issaquah, Washington, and rooted in a strong volunteer network, the museums operate within a broader mission to connect the community to its past and inform future development. In addition to its historical exhibits, the Issaquah History Museums support the Issaquah Valley Trolley, a heritage service that links the Depot with local destinations and preserves a sense of continuity between historic downtown and Gilman Village. The institutions position themselves within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, contributing to cultural preservation and community sustainability in the region.
