Introducing the Elizabeth Sullivan Collection!

In early 2004, the Quincy Valley Historical Society & Museum was the recipient of a generous donation of early Quincy photographs, many of them by known pioneer photographer Otto Henderson. These photos chronicle many of the early families of Quincy from 1902-1930 and are an outstanding heritage for our collection.

Given by Elizabeth Sullivan, who found them at a yard sale in the Olympia, Washington area, the story of how these photographers found their way back to Quincy is fascinating! After much research on Ms. Sullivan's part, our community can now see and understand much of the early history of settlement here in the Quincy Valley. The collection features hundreds of original photographs, and was unveiled at the 2004 Summer Sociable in June, after cataloging, we hope to access funds of permanent exhibit of this wonderful donation!
