SUMMER SCHOOLS 2009 | THREE PROMOTIONAL EVENTS

NEW CHAPTER GRANTED CHARTER

We welcome the Pacific north west to the Victorian Society in America in the shape of a new chapter known as the NorthWest Chapter. 

The chapter was formed by a group of who have been active in historic preservation and the promotion of the history of the Pacific Northwest for many years. A major activity of the group has been the production of the Victorian Festival in Port Townsend, WA from 2004 through 2008 under the auspices of the Jefferson County Historical Society.

Organizers of the Northwest Chapter believed that to allow the festival to grow and to expand awareness of the rich history of the region, a broader scope was necessary that would embrace Victorian history throughout Puget Sound and the entire Northwest.
