NE Genealogy Society

The Northeast Washington Genealogical Society was organized in September 1981 as a way of sharing genealogical expertise with each other and to assist those living out of our area with research in Stevens, Ferry and Pend Oreille counties. We currently number about 60 members. The Society hopes to stimulate and encourage interest in genealogical research; to build a genealogical collection in the Colville Public Library; and to sponsor seminars, workshops and classes for anyone interested in pursuing their family history. NeWGS helps to preserve local history and records, and keeps its members informed and up-to-date on genealogical news. A quarterly publication ("Pioneer Branches") is distributed to our members in October, January, April and July.

Chewelah, WA

The Chewelah Museum

A single room of interesting artifacts, displayed at the Chewelah Fun Fair in the summer of 1965 was the beginning of the present spacious museum. The exhibit drew so much interest it was decided to add to it the following year and the idea mushroomed. Walt Goodman and his niece, Dorothy, both interested in local history and historical artifacts, they pooled their ideas to create what became the present museum. From the modest one room start, the building was soon filled with many local items of interest. The people of Chewelah and surrounding areas were cooperative and generous. Many have given valuable family collections to provide interesting and unique items to the display for the public to enjoy. Each year the museum grows. New (old) items are constantly being received and placed on display. Old pictures of the area or persons from the area are always welcome and will be shown in the picture from, which in itself tells a lstory of Chewelah history.
