WHO WE ARE and OUR MISSION
In today's world of fast technologies, fake fun and video "non-reality"
.. its hard to build roots and the basics needed with your kids
unless they can have a "fun" hands on experience.
This exhibit has been designed to spark the interest of the
visitor as well as educate him or her on just how exciting and
creative people had to be to survive without TV and cell phones.
Take a tour and bring your kids for a great day or night of realreality!
NON-PROFIT
ORGANIZATION
This is a 501 C-3 non-profit organization designed to pass on the
excitement and fun of our past.
COME and experience the true history of our mechanized growth in agriculture, logging, mining and transportation of the lower Snohomish,
Snoqualmie and Skykomish valleys.
" The Western Heritage Center,ahistorical museum located on the fairgrounds, was
outgrowing its space, said operator Jerry Senner. He set
out to persuade the county to grant a piece of nearby
county-owned land upon which he could build a much
larger museum.
*Update: Snohomish County did
designate the land for a museum, and now Senner has
begun trying to raise about $900,000 for the
construction of a new museum, which could house one of
the largest collections of antique farm equipment on the
West Coast, if he succeeds. In a meeting last Thursday,
Senner and county officials discussed locating the space
for a new museum somewhat closer to the current museum
than the land Senner originally had in mind. Senner
plans to build the new museum in $300,000 phases."
ANNUAL COMMUNITY MEETING
We held a community meeting on Tuesday September 11, 2012, at 7PM.
Our agenda was to get public input on the Museum, what people
want to see and to explain the draft proposal for our new expansion
project. Our proposed building will be an expansive 30,000 square
feet. 15,000 on two floors.
Please call or email us to get involved!

GRANT REQUEST - EXPANSION
NEEDS
We're expanding! Plans
are under way to build and develop and a new facility. We are actively
pursuing grant money and matching funds. The current location on the
fairgrounds is temporary.
Because of the size of
of our growing collections and the tentative future in our current
building, we are in discussions build a 30,000 square foot double decked
facility on a separate property that can
house our current artifacts as well as the new
collection coming in that will require an additional 10,000 sq feet of
space!
We're actively adding equipment and components everyday!
Come by and visit!
Our new exhibit
recently donated will be one of the largest single collections in the
Pacific Northwest.
OUR HISTORY
This exhibit was
originally the life long dream of a great guy named Jerry Senner.
His collection process started many years ago. He has spent his life
assembling these classic tractors, implements and specialized
equipment for display. His passion for passing on some of the fun and
creative parts of the past to the next generation will inspire
everyone!
