Our New Building
In April of 2023 the Franklin County Historical Society opened the doors to it’s new Annex building. This building is used to hold our archive storage as well as a flex space used for educational programs and community events. This building was only possible because of the generous donations of our community. Thank you to those who supported this project and made it happen!
Franklin County Historical Society Annex Building
Project Summary
The new annex building is to be located on property adjacent to the Franklin County Historical Society Museum, which is a restored 1911 Carnegie Library and National Historic Site. The society had a pressing need for additional space for exhibits, educational programs, and storage of material culture and archives. Among other recent accessions, the society acquired the archives of the Washington State Railroads Historical Society, and the Museum’s textile and other collections previously occupied considerable space off-site in the basement of the city’s Community Center.
Scope of Project:
The Franklin County Museum Education & Storage Annex project set out toconstruct a 4560 square-foot building (50´ x 70´ main building plus 15´ x 70´ attached storage) on property adjacent to the present Museum in Pasco, Washington.
