mansion
This nationally recognized Puyallup landmark, built in 1890 by Ezra and Eliza Jane Meeker, has been restored and preserved for guests of all ages to enjoy. Tours of this Italianate style Victorian home feature original fireplace tiles and mantles, ornate ceiling paintings and friezes, beautiful stained glass windows and functioning speaking tubes with nickel plated mouthpieces.
Meeker Mansion Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4:00pm for self guided tours. We recommend allowing at least 60 to 90 minutes for touring the Mansion and viewing all of our new exhibits and displays.

PUYALLUP HISTORICAL SOCIETY
MEEKER MANSION MUSEUM
MISSION:
To restore and preserve the Meeker Mansion, and to collect, archive and make available the history of the Puyallup Valley and the Oregon Trail.
The Puyallup Historical Society at Meeker Mansion knows that our strength lies in connecting Puyallup Valley history with current generations. Incorporating and becoming a 501c(3) in1970, the Society saved the deteriorating Mansion from a planned burning after its use as a GAR retirement home and a nursing home from 1914 to 1969. Society restoration efforts began in 1973 and are ongoing with our collecting and archiving of local history to share with the public. Proceeds from memberships, donations and fundraisers continue to help with these kinds of efforts.
