About the Guemes History Project
The Guemes History Project Vision
The vision of the Guemes History Project is to pick up where the former Historical Society left off and renew their dream It's an historic endeavor! We have a collection to inventory and conserve, assets to manage and a physical site to create. We began our efforts after the Historical Society was dissolved with the passing of its founding leaders, and we thank the Guemes Island Library for their vision and efforts of taking on the 501(c)3 fiduciary role in the interim.
The Project is nearly complete! As of August, 2024, the Project has re-established the Guemes Island Historical Society (GIHS 2.0!) as a Washinton State non-profit corporation and will soon be registered as a federal 501(c)3 corporation. Until them, donations can be made on GIHS's behalf through the Guemes Island Library.
