Issaquah History Museums showcases our area’s history with two historic buildings: Issaquah Depot Museum (open Saturdays by Appointment) and Gilman Town Hall Museum (Temporarily closed).

Currently, we’re thrilled to be able to share the contents of our photo files, letter collections, archives of The Issaquah Press, and much more!

Collectively, these materials tell the story of Issaquah; individually, they provide invaluable insights on people and events that helped shape the region and have profound relevance today.

Preserving stories for future generations

In 2011, we launched a project to digitize our collections and make them available to researchers online. Several years into the project, we are still realizing the value of the information we have gathered. We’re thrilled to be able to share the contents of our photo files, letter collections, important documents, and oral histories! Collectively, these materials tell the story of Issaquah, and, individually, they provide invaluable insights on people and events that helped shape the region and have profound relevance today.

Our Town Issaquah

by Hilda Johanson Erickson, ca 1950

Our town is like the promised land
With foothills all around
Opportunities have no end
In our home town

We have forest land, lakes so blue
Sparkling brooks that hum for you
Flowering fields mixed with shade
Here a new born fawn his bed has made

Natures wondrous gift bestowed
All along the streams and roads
Hear the whispering in the pine
Inhale evergreen like sparkling wine
