Founders Exhibit Rooms

​Mortimer Cook was the founder of the town of Sedro, formerly known as Bug. Here you'll find an extensive military exhibit including WWII and the home front, regalia from fraternal orders, and service clubs.
P.A. Woolley was the founder of (you guessed it), the town of Woolley. In the P.A. Woolley Room, you'll find the schoolroom (complete with the bell from the Sterling School, rescued from a dump). Visit the 1950s, and marvel at the vintage equipment from laundries of yesteryear.
