The North Olympic History Center, formerly known as the Clallam County Historical Society, has been dedicated to preserving the rich history of the North Olympic Peninsula since 1948. With a research library, artifact collection, and education program, the NOHC connects the past with the present and future, ensuring that the region's history remains alive and accessible. After extensive research, community outreach, and consideration of alternative uses, the NOHC has made the difficult decision to demolish the former Lincoln Elementary School building. Despite investing significant resources into stabilizing the building, the rapid deterioration and high restoration costs have made it financially unviable. The NOHC will now focus on its primary mission, which includes digitizing and expanding public access to its collection, enhancing educational programming, and collaborating with community partners to create public displays in highly trafficked areas.Generated from the website
