In 2024, SWSHS received an inaugural grant from Maritime Washington National Heritage Area to pursue planning for a permanent, interactive exhibition at the Log House Museum, a central feature of our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan.
SWSHS completed planning as facilitated by freelance exhibit designer Chris Erlich and supported by an advisory committee.
