Welcome to the Woodinville Heritage Society & DeYoung House Heritage Museum
The Woodinville Heritage Society preserves and shares the stories that make Woodinville unique. Founded in 1975, we are dedicated to collecting, protecting, and interpreting the people, places, and events that shaped our community—from the pioneer homesteads of Ira and Susan Woodin to the vibrant city we know today.
Our museum, located in the historic DeYoung House, offers exhibits that bring local history to life through photographs, artifacts, and personal stories. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved to town, you’ll discover how Woodinville grew from farmland and logging trails into a thriving hub of innovation, wineries, and community spirit.
The Heritage Society hosts free Saturday programs, walking tours, and special events throughout the year that invite residents of all ages to connect with the past. We’re also proud stewards of the Woodinville Pioneer Cemetery and maintain an extensive archive for researchers, students, and families tracing local roots.
Memberships and donations help us safeguard this history for future generations. Join us, volunteer, or become a member today—your support keeps Woodinville’s stories alive.
Visit. Learn. Belong.
Together, we’re preserving Woodinville’s history — one story at a time.
