Join us for our 2026 Annual General Meeting: November 19 at 4pm at the museum.
As the board and staff of the WDHS begin a strategic planning session in September, we are requesting community input. A survey – open to all community members – is open until September 15, 2026 at noon. If you have the time, please find it here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WDHS_Member_Survey
A survey was emailed August 27 to all 2025-26 paid members – if you are a member and have not received this, please check your spam folder. A hard-copy of the survey is also available at the museum. For those members do not have an email or live in the valley a copy will be mailed to you.
Thank you for taking the time and providing your input!
