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 morning. Other uses include exercise programs, homeschool 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.
