The main museum, library, archives and collections storage areas are located within the 26-room, 1924 mansion of timber-heir Arnold Polson. The Polson's Railroad Camp exhibit space, adjacent Hubble House, and Laubach Shop further the museum's mission by providing education, exhibition, collection storage and restoration spaces. 0 0 71998 5000 13852 Regular, ongoing work to maintain, update and create new permanent and temporary exhibits pertaining to the history of Grays Harbor County, Washington. Such work includes the active maintenance, acquisition and cataloging of historical collections for exhibition, educational and research purposes. Work also includes the general administration and operation of the museum. Following the COVID-19 pandemic closure requirements of 2020 and into 2021, the museum decided to institute our own closure during the first three months of 2022 to continue restoring the public areas of our 1924 mansion and begin creating new exhibits throughout the museum. 7885 0 0 Work to restore "Hubble House" a 1915 Japanesque Craftsman bungalow at 1607 Riverside Ave., Hoquiam, WA continued despite volunteers and staff devoting more time to restoration of our mansion's interior. Work here during 2022 slowed given that we focused attention on exhibit work inside the main museum. Addtional wiring was added along with skirting around the exterior of the building and a clean up of the foundation area (new vapor barrier and repair of insulation being the main accomplishments underneath). When completed, the building will serve as collections storage for the museum's paper-based collections, be available as a public meeting space in the common areas, and be a dedicated woodworking shop in the garage. 8200 0 0 Photographic scanning and archiving. This multi-year effort continued with more catch up to process new collections that have come into the museum's permanent collection. Images were scanned, identified and sleeved for proper storage as well as information added to our collections database. 0 0 0 88083 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X X Curtis Steinhauer 3605335862 PO Box 432 Hoquiam WA 98550 John Larson Executive Director 40 0 X 62000 0 5000 Gloria Callaghan Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Larry Jones Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Diane Muir Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kathy Quigg Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Joyce Thomasson Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Lee Thomasson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Bill Wieland Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Irene Kennedy Board Member 32 0 X 0 0 0 Moira Connor Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Norm Callaghan Jr Vice President 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ron Loomis President 2 0 X 0 0 0 JoAnn Brown Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Curtis Steinhauer Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 62000 0 5000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68128 0 68128 Admissions 900099 5040 2520 2520 0 Membership Dues 900099 8812 4406 2203 2203 0 0 0 0 13852 20861 0 0 20861 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28380 0 15641 0 12739 0 12739 12739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4983 1511 3472 3472 0 0 0 119052 23137 4723 23064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52100 26050 17367 8683 0 0 0 0 21810 10905 8179 2726 0 20168 10084 7563 2521 30014 15007 11255 3752 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1040 0 1040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8200 8200 0 0 592 296 0 296 1280 640 480 160 6032 3016 2262 754 0 0 0 0 13109 6554 4916 1639 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 950 0 950 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5788 0 5788 0 Hubble House restoration 1720 860 860 0 Licenses, Fees & Dues 492 0 492 0 Archives, Collections & Exhibits 1858 1858 0 0 Department of L&I / Employment Security 2576 1288 1288 0 6650 3325 3325 0 174379 88083 65765 20531 0 0 282429 229837 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 204956 137798 84435 67158 848042 662909 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1214906 959904 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 1190785 959904 24121 0 1214906 959904 1214906 959904 X -55327 -185133 0 0 0 -14542 X 0 0 0 X 35704 98555 156559 198715 76520 566053 13531 12495 10410 10588 10443 57467 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49235 111050 166969 209303 86963 623520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 623520 42683 35229 19508 52601 20861 170882 0 0 0 0 0 0 42683 35229 19508 52601 20861 170882 0 0 0 0 0 0 85010 85840 30450 26200 28380 255880 176928 232119 216927 288104 136204 1050282 0.59367 0.55186 0.16270 0.16730 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 2018 and 2019 includes gross revenue from the "Red Car Raffle" as well as from the unit rentals of our 1601 Riverside Ave. apartment 4-plex.
