BUSINESS: First Federal awards $5,000 to Quilcene Historical Museum

PORT ANGELES — First Federal Community Foundation recently presented a check for $5,000 to the Quilcene Historical Museum to fund Phase II renovations for a new Mansard roof for the historical Hamilton-Worthington House in Quilcene.

The donation will be used to restore the 1892 Victorian home to its original roof line.

“We are pleased to support the Quilcene community in its efforts to preserve an important part of their local history,” said Karen McCormick, executive director of the foundation.

The five-phase renovation project, scheduled to be completed in summer 2017, will preserve an important part of Quilcene’s heritage while at the same time creating a vital new community center that will promote awareness of the area’s cultural and historical value.
