About
Opportunity Township Hall
The
Spokane Valley Heritage Museum is located in an historic Valley Landmark, the
Opportunity Township Hall. The Township Hall was built in 1912 to be used as the
governmental building for Township business. The Township form of government lasted
from 1909 until 1974.
The Opportunity Township Hall is now on the State and National
Historic Registers. The Hall is the last remaining Township Hall in the State
of Washington. Opportunity Township Hall served the Valley population as a center
of community activity and is the most appropriate place to house the history and
culture of the Spokane Valley. |
