The collection was started in 1935 by the Tilicum Club, a women’s social and service organization, asked by pioneer families to preserve items of their history.

The Friends of the Cheney Historical Museum is now joined in partnership with the Tilicum Club and other volunteers in operating the museum, doing research, and preserving and caring for the collection.
