The WCHS Store at the Heritage Center has a wide variety of books, games and home goods. The Education Center is available for rental and hosts events year-round. The Warden’s House Museum was built in 1853 as the residence of the Minnesota Territorial Prison warden. Over the next six decades, there were thirteen wardens that lived in the house until 1914 when the prison moved to its present site in Bayport. The museum consists of 14 rooms decorated in the late 19th and early 20th century style. Many rooms are like that of a upper middle class Victorian household while other rooms house exhibits showcasing Washington County history. WCHS has operated the Warden's House since 1941. The Warden's House is on the National Register of Historic Places. Hay Lake School was constructed in 1896 after several years of school being held in local homes and churches. Largely brick (versus wood), the school stood as one of the finer one-room schoolhouses of its day. On the same property is Erickson Log Home, which was built in 1868 by a family of Swedish immigrants who lived there until 1904. Hay Lake School served as a regular classroom until its final class of students in 1963. In 1974, WCHS acquired the school and log home. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Rancho Camulos Museum

Rancho Camulos sits at the gateway to one of the largest urban population centers in the country. Nowhere else in California can one experience a rancho of this type in its historic landscape setting. Indeed, the charm of Camulos is in no small part due to its remoteness from the frenetic activity of the city, the drama of the valley and surrounding mountains. Yet the museum’s location halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara (the rancho had been a stopping point on the original stage coach route between these two cities) makes it easily accessible to audiences visiting or living in the tri-county area. As a Ventura County’s only NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK (NHL), Rancho Camulos is considered the “crown jewel” of Heritage Valley—a tourism enhancement effort designed to promote the region’s diverse cultural heritage while protecting its unparalleled scenic beauty. The NHL designation was awarded for the rancho’s place in American literary history as the setting for Helen Hunt Jackson’s epic 19th century novel Ramona, first published in 1884 and still in print today. The museum property sits within a larger 1,800-acre working agricultural ranch and incorporates several historic buildings including the expansive sq. ft. del Valle adobe home (built in phases beginning in 1853 through 1880), a family chapel, brick winery, barn The story of Rancho Camulos is the story of Southern California—an early Native-American village, the home of a prominent Californio land grant family (referring to early Hispanic settlers), the setting of an epic 19th century novel, a symbol of tourism and hospitality, and its ongoing history as a diverse agricultural operation that has endured and evolved for over a 150 years. The museum’s period of interpretation is from 1853-1943. This time span represents the actual founding of the rancho when the first adobe structure was built, through the death of August Rubel who purchased the property from the del Valle family in 1924.

Hamilton Hall

Hamilton Hall in Salem is widely recognized as one of the most important Federal buildings in America. It was designed in 1805 by the famous architect and master woodcarver, Samuel McIntire, and has been in use as an assembly hall for cultural and social events for over two hundred years. In the 1800’s, Salem was a political hotbed with Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans constantly pitted against one another. Each party was determined to have a meeting place, which led to the construction of Hamilton Hall by the Federalists. They were also the first Proprietors to oversee the new building. In its early days, Hamilton Hall hosted elaborate celebrations and banquets, honoring various local and visiting dignitaries, as well as dances. One of the first Assemblies held at Hamilton Hall was the somewhat controversial Christmas Week dance, a tradition that continues today. According to a popular story, Parson Hopkins, minister of the South church across the street from the Hall, could be seen pacing outside his church waving his arms and muttering, “back to back and breast to breast, they are dancing their souls to hell.”

Daughters Of Hawai'i

Together we honor, preserve, and celebrate the spirit of old Hawai‘i. In 1903, seven women born in the Kingdom of Hawai‘i were concerned by the loss of Hawaiian culture and heritage. They founded the Daughters of Hawai‘i to preserve and celebrate the history, legacy and culture of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i. Their focus was “to perpetuate the memory and spirit of old Hawai‘i and of historic facts, and to preserve the nomenclature and correct pronunciation of the Hawaiian language.” Since then, generations of Daughters who trace their ancestry in Hawai‘i to before 1880, have given their time and heart to this work—preserving and honoring historic sites, native place names, key events, and the traditions of Hawai‘i. The Daughters of Hawai‘i is one of the first organizations in Hawai‘i to recognize the importance of historic preservation. Since the early 1900s they have been stewards who preserve Hānaiakamalama in Nu‘uanu, also known as the Queen Emma Summer Palace, and Hulihe‘e Palace in Kailua-Kona. These restored house museums are open to visitors and filled with original royal furnishings and regalia from the Kingdom of Hawai‘i. The Daughters also preserve and maintain the birth site of King Kamehameha at Keauhou Bay in Kailua-Kona. For more than a century, the Daughters of Hawai‘i have been responsible caretakers of two of Hawai‘i's three royal palaces. They educate visitors and residents about historic Hawai‘i with on-site classes, online education, museum tours, and community events. They are a nonprofit corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors.

Cripple Creek Donkeys - Two Mile High Club

Donkeys have been an integral part of mining throughout the ages. Their role in Cripple Creek's great gold rush was as crucial as the railroads, the merchants, and even the miners themselves. These sturdy creatures were reliable transportation, able to climb narrow trails along the rough slopes. Their ability to carry heavy loads made them invaluable companions in the camps. Donkeys were also used underground in the mines. Long before the invention of electric trams, donkeys were used to haul ore carts along the narrow tunnels. Their stamina and compact size allowed them to work long, grueling hours. Modern mining techniques and declining gold production in the late 1920s ended the importance of donkeys in the Cripple Creek District. Turned loose by the miners to roam the hillsides surrounding Cripple Creek, the donkeys quickly returned to their wild ways though many chose to hang around Cripple Creek. The Two Mile High Club was formed in 1931 to care for these town donkeys. Our Club operates on 100% donations from local businesses, memberships, individual and family sponsorships, and grants. Each year, the Club faces the challenge of getting enough support to cover costs for vet care, food, and shelter at approximately per donkey per year. Our volunteers work tirelessly to provide our donkeys with the best care.
