The Renton History Museum’s mission is to preserve, document, and interpret the history of greater Renton. A joint project of the Renton Historical Society and the City of Renton, the museum offers exhibits exploring Renton’s industrial, civic, and cultural past by showcasing our extensive collection of objects and photographs. Renton History Museum hosts spring and fall calendars of educational programs for families and adults. Museum memberships are available for anyone interested in the history of the area. The museum also operates a small research library open to researchers by appointment.

The Renton Historical Society actively recruits volunteers and trustees to assist the staff with museum operations. One of the Society's most recent projects is the refurbishment of the historic neon sign from Fey's Roxy Theatre, a fixture in downtown Renton from 1936 to the theater's closing in 2001. The Roxy sign is now featured in the Museum's main gallery.

Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Renton Historical Society's Board of Trustees meets once a month at the Museum. Meetings are open to the public and visitors are welcome. Please call 425.255.2330 in advance to verify date, time, and location.

Capture the Past, Educate the Present, Inspire the Future!
