Town of Winthrop
Winthrop, Washington, serves as the gateway to the North Cascades, with a rich history rooted in community vision and development. In the 1960s, local visionaries, notably Kathryn and Otto Wagner, spearheaded a transformative project to restore the town's business buildings to their historic 1900 roots, fostering a unique Old West atmosphere.
This ambitious initiative, largely funded by the Wagners, is considered one of the most significant charitable acts in Winthrop's history, with an estimated investment of over $1 million in 1970 dollars. As a result, Winthrop has evolved into a thriving tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year.
