Crow Valley School Museum

Crow Valley School, originally called Pleasant Valley, was built in 1888, one year before the Territory of Washington was admitted to the Union as the State of Washington.

In 1987 the school house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Shortly later it was painstakingly restored over hundreds of hours by Richard Schneider and Bud McBride, the founders of Crow Valley Pottery.

Crow Valley School is one of the finest examples of an intact one room school house in Washington and in 1989 was recognized for its renovation during the Washington Centennial Celebration.

Part of the Orcas Island Historical Museum, the Crow Valley School Museum is open Thursday thru Saturday from 11-3pm between Memorial Day to Labor Day. Private guided tours are available by appointment.
