John Oftebro, President Redmond Historical Society
Redmond Historical Society Returns to Old Redmond Schoolhouse The Redmond Historical Society is pleased to announce that the organization is finally moving back into the Old Redmond Schoolhouse.
Having resided there since its founding in 1999, the Society was asked to move out temporarily in March 2018 so that the Lake Washington School District could remodel the building for its preschool program in Redmond, which opened in September 2020.
The Society is grateful to Robert Pantley of Natural & Built Environments, and Wayne Morse of Bellegrove Medical Supply, for generously providing temporary office space over the past three years.
During February and March 2021, Board members and staff will be organizing the Society’s office and collections, and then developing the new display and exhibit space for eventual opening of its office and museum sometime in 2021. “We are excited to be returning to the schoolhouse—our home for many years,” said John Oftebro, Society President. “We are also engaged in planning innovative museum space. We will open when we are ready, and public safety measures allow.”
The Redmond Historical Society is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that receives support from the City of Redmond, 4Culture, the Nelson Legacy Group, Humanities Washington, the Bellevue Collection, Happy Valley Grange, and Microsoft, as well as from other donors and members.
