We Are THE Methow Community Club
Our Story
The first Methow School burned in 1919 and was replaced, two years later, with a sturdy new brick building. This building served as the schoolhouse in the town of Methow for the next 27 years.
The Methow Community Club, already an organized entity since 1937, took over use of the building in 1953 and made it, along with its spacious grounds, into a venue for wedding receptions, memorials, potlucks, game nights, quilting bees, and holiday dinners for singles without local families. More recently, it has served as an assembly room to discuss land use and school levies, and as an essential information hub
in times of flooding and wildfire.
Today, the Club is pleased to host Methow's weekly Coffee-Klatch in the schoolhouse every Tuesday mornings, and we anticipate future use to include exercise programs, home-school activities, and much much more.
But time marches on, and inevitably, plaster crumbles, roofs wear out, power costs increase and code requirements governing doors and stairs must be met. In short, to keep the cohesive hub of Methow alive, the building must be maintained, and the Methow Community Club is reaching out, now, for the support to make these necessary
upgrades and repairs.
Our Vision:
The historic one-room Methow schoolhouse with its idyllic park-like setting in the heart of Methow will continue to be a place for friends, families and visitors to gather for celebrations, holidays and opportunities to learn, bond and grow together as a community.
Our Mission:
The Methow Community Club seeks to preserve the sturdy, century-old Methow schoolhouse and to maintain its grounds as a local
assembly space for the community to hold meetings and events,
to commemorate and celebrate,
and as an information hub in times of need and natural crisis.
