About Edmonds Historical Museum

Run by a private nonprofit founded by local volunteers in 1973, this museum shares the history of Edmonds and south Snohomish County through rotating exhibits, research, and educational programs. It occupies the former Carnegie Library, which served as the local library from 1911 until 1962 and later housed the city's Parks and Recreation Department. Its collection holds more than 26,000 artifacts, documents, and photographs.
