Lacey's New Museum Project


On August 11, 2016, Lacey City Council purchased the property at 5700 Lacey Boulevard with the intention of fashioning the existing building into the new Lacey Museum. The site is the original location of the Lacey Train Depot.

In 2017, the Historical Commission and city staff prepared a new site plan.

 

The Commission also made preparations to construct the Historic Train Depot Trail Amenity, which will be a park shelter built to look like the original train depot. Museum staff completed a   Washington State Heritage Capital Grant application to finish construction documents for the new museum. We are excited to share that we have been awarded the $970,000 grant for the project.
