Okanogan County Historical Society

The Society is governed by an 18-member board of trustees elected at annual membership meetings.  The trustees meet quarterly with all society members welcome to attend.  In 1984 the Okanogan County Historical Society became the first to receive the Washington State Historical Society's coveted Robert Gray medal for "distinguished contributions" to the preservation of local and state history.
