Annual Cherry Blossom Tea (March 2022)
Thank you to everyone who made our fundraiser a great success. This year’s Tea was held earlier in the season and at a new location, the DuPont Home Course Pavilion. Musician and historian Karen Haas wrote and presented the program, accompanied by pianist Debi Reinhart. The theme was “Celebrate DuPont through the seasons, through the years.” Karen showcased the women of Fort Nisqually and the DuPont company town and the songs and fashions they enjoyed.

Holiday Windows in Historic DuPont (December 2021)
Through the month of December, neighbors and friends walked around the Historic DuPont Village for our first annual Holiday Window Walk. Decorators included Historical Society members and local families, as well as the Steilacoom High School Art Club and Key Club members. At the end of December, families enjoying the Window Walk ended their tour at the Museum for some cocoa and holiday crafts!
Night at the Museum (September 2017)
Local children brought their favorite stuffed animal or other toy friend for a sleepover ... and we took pictures of all the fun they had exploring the Museum overnight! The next morning, the children picked up their favorite friend along with a photobook full of fun pictures!
