Crow Valley School Museum | Last day of the season Sept. 5

||| FROM PARKER PAVITT for CROW VALLEY SCHOOL MUSEUM |||

Where would you find the “Crow Valley cheer,” Little Plant People, and a collection of vintage lunch pails? The Crow Valley School Museum, that’s where! Discover these and many more fascinating items from Orcas Island history at our restored schoolhouse built in 1888.

The School Museum will be open for two more weeks this summer season with the final day on Saturday, September 5th. Don’t miss this chance to speak with our friendly tour guides and learn about student life on Orcas Island around the turn of the 20th century! 

Bring friends and test your local knowledge:

• How many school districts have existed on Orcas Island? 

• What was the original name of the Crow Valley School?

• Is the Crow Valley School Museum really listed on the National Register of Historic Places?

Find out the answers to these questions and spark your curiosity for more by visiting us at 1701 Crow Valley Road, just next to the North Trailhead at Turtleback Preserve.
