The Vashon Heritage Museum showcases our Island's
rich cultural, historical, and natural history.
Welcome —
Through the Vashon Heritage Museum, our Association aims to honor Vashon stories of love, life, oppression, action, and resilience. We use storytelling to encourage Islanders to take responsibility for what we do, knowing our actions influence history. As the Association collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets the history of Vashon and Maury Islands, we seek to engage, educate, and inspire our Island Community.
Our vision
Engage: By providing exciting and innovative displays, the Vashon Heritage Museum stirs curiosity and engages its visitors with expertly curated exhibits supported by knowledgeable docents.
Educate: With access to the wealth of knowledge collected through the VMIHA, the Museum educates its visitors by providing an accurate reflection of our community’s history and its place in the Pacific Northwest.
Inspire: The Vashon Heritage Museum inspires visitors by celebrating our shared heritage, connecting the past and present, and demonstrating how history influences our future.
Donations from local Vashonites, visitors, and those who feel a close connection to the island allow us to continue the work we do.
Donate today - your gift will help keep the museum open for generations to come.
