The Sedro-Woolley Museum Committee formed in December 1991. In 1992, our articles of incorporation were finalized and we became an official non-profit organization. The City of Sedro-Woolley gave us a 25-year lease on the former "Murdock Mall" building. The building originally was Emil Jech’s Ford Garage, built in the 1920’s. The inside of the building had badly deteriorated due to a leaking roof, and with a generous donation from the Soroptimists, we replaced the ceiling.

Our first major opening to the public was in December of 1992 for the Holiday Home Tour. The museum opened with regular hours on March 6, 1993. We're grateful to the Rotary Club for the hard work of creating a new building facade, completed just in time for Founder's Day Celebration, in July of 1994.

All artifacts in the museum have been donated by past and present residents of the area, and the displays are created by the volunteer board and members of the community.
