About Us

Mission: Tacoma Historical Society preserves, presents, and promotes Tacoma's history.
Vision: Generations connected by the many stories of our city's past.

Members of Tacoma Historical Society and its museum forge connections between past and present by collecting, documenting and sharing the unique history of our city.

Our focus is on history and artifacts related to Tacoma’s past from the period immediately preceding the location of the Delin Mill on Tacoma’s waterfront in 1852 up to the significant events of the present day. Tacoma Historical Society is a volunteer-driven 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit corporation.
