Duvall Historical Society

Founded in 1976, the Duvall Historical Society preserves, records, and promotes the history of Duvall and the lower Snoqualmie Valley. This all volunteer nonprofit is the reason so much of the town's history is still standing and still tellable. 🏛️

Led by President "Country" Marilyn Roney (2026-2027 term), DHS cares for two of the valley's most important landmarks. The Dougherty House, built in 1883 and on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004, is open to visitors Sundays 1pm to 4pm, May through September. They also maintain the Pioneer Cemetery at Novelty Hills, established in 1905, where many of the valley's first families are buried.

📚 In 2024 they published "The Wonder of Duvall," an illustrated history of the town. Rob Holdeman leads the popular "Roots of Duvall" historic walking tours each summer.

🎉 Annual traditions include the Twilight Tour at Novelty Hills Cemetery, the Easter Egg Hunt at the Dougherty Farmstead (title sponsored by Buddy Buck Real Estate and the City of Duvall), and the Harvest Festival.

Heritage work like this doesn't fund itself. DHS is supported by 4Culture King County. Mail goes to PO Box 385, Duvall, WA 98019.
