About North Olympic History Center
We connect the future to the past, through the present.
Since 1948, the North Olympic History Center, formerly the Clallam County Historical Society, has been dedicated to keeping the history of the North Olympic Peninsula alive. The NOHC manages a research library, an artifact collection, and educational and outreach programs.
