CRESWELL – The Creswell Area Historical Society received a $5,000 grant from the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund to go toward the museum’s new roof.
In late 2025, the building at 55 N. 5th St. underwent significant roof repairs. Museum volunteer Amy Sierzega said there were some places in the ceiling where she could see straight through to the sky.
After a few weeks of construction and a $42,000 price tag, workers installed a new roof over the entire building. Despite support from the city, grants, and other donations, the museum had covered only about $27,000 of its total bill back in December.
On Jan. 12, it was announced that the Weyerhaeuser Giving Fund helped alleviate the museum’s financial burden with a $5,000 grant toward the new roof.
