NCHM Board of Directors has adopted a plan for reopening and will be following Gov. Jay Inslee’s guidelines.

Face masks will be provided for those who do not have one, and gloves will be available to view exhibits. Most exhibits will be no touching. One-way traffic and social distancing will be emphasized. Cleaning and sanitizing of the building is being done for the reopening. The number of visitors at one time will be limited: 15 for the sanctuary and 10 for the basement.
Board members have continued to oversee the operations of the museum, and exhibits have been enhanced and moved around, with more interpretation for your viewing. It has been seven months since we were open to the public and we are excited to see some visitors again. At this time, we are unable to schedule events, but hope that will change soon.
