Steeped in local history, the Dungeness Schoolhouse became a division of the Museum & Arts Center in January, 1995. Located at 2781 Towne Road, the Dungeness School opened February 27, 1893, with one teacher and 73 pupils ranging in age from 5 to 20 years. In 1923 high school classes were discontinued. The school closed in 1955 when the Dungeness and Sequim School Districts were consolidated.
The property was purchased on August 3, 1967 by the Dungeness Community Club for the purpose of promoting the civic and social welfare of the community. Women of the Dungeness was organized to help the Dungeness Community Club restore and maintain the building. The Dungeness Schoolhouse was designated a Washington State Historical Site on July 30, 1971, and on May 19, 1988 this beautiful old building was listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
New access ramp completed August 2006. Thank you to the Sunshine Rotary Club of Sequim who provided the labor necessary to build a new handicap ramp. |
