Woodinville Heritage Society
What We Do
Founded in 1975 by local volunteers – Phyllis Keller & Cherry Jarvis – the Woodinville Heritage Society preserves and shares the people, places, buildings, artifacts, photographs, and events that shaped our community. Our work includes caring for the historic DeYoung House, creating exhibits and programs, collecting community stories, and helping recognize and landmark important buildings that reflect Woodinville’s past.
The museum is located in the historic 1931 DeYoung House at 14121 NE 171st Street. The house was the DeYoung family home until the 1970s, moved to its current location in 1973, and opened as the Woodinville Heritage Museum in 2011.
