New Museum to Highlight University Place History

University Place history will have a new home in the city’s first museum, according to Cindy Bonaro, president of the University Place Historical Society.

The group reached a lease agreement this week with the city to lease space in the Windmill Village near UP City Hall in building D3.

“While the museum’s location is only temporary since Windmill Village will ultimately be demolished as the Town Center project progresses, it does provide a place for the Society to collect, identify, catalog, preserve, and display historic photographs and artifacts from University Place and the region to share with the community,” the historical society said in a news release.

Details are expected soon on a grand opening and hours of operation. Check www.UPHistoricalSociety.org for details.

Residents who have local historical artifacts, documents and photographs they would like to donate or loan to the historical society are encouraged to call 253-778-6717.
