The Okanogan County Historical Society was formed in 1963 to preserve and disseminate the colorful heritage of Okanogan County in North Central Washington State. The society is governed by an 18-member board of trustees elected at annual membership meetings. The trustees meet quarterly. In 1984 the Okanogan County Historical Society was the first small society to receive the Washington State Historical Society’s coveted Robert Gray Medal for “distinguished contributions” to the preservation of local and state history. Four County Museums are part of the Society: Conconully, Molson Schoolhouse and Town Site, Okanogan, and Shafer.
