Image Visit the Blackman House

This cozy family home was built by lumberman and politician Hyrcanus and his wife Ella Blackman in 1878. Where they raised their two children, Clifford and Eunice, and where both Clifford and his father passed away within months of each other in 1920-21. Eunice lived in this house with her husband Dr. William Ford, and sold it to the Snohomish Historical Society in 1970, four years before her death. The Museum features two floors of objects which were original to the Blackman Family or donated by the families of other early Snohomish settlers.

Open Saturday and Sunday afternoons 1-4PM    Message phone: 360.568.5235.    Admission [and tours] by donation.

NOTE CARD FROM PETER FROMM, SEPTEMBER 23, 2008
Gallery + Adventures

Hello There --

Inspired by the photos in "Maritime Memories of Puget Sound" for the 'Gallery' Gilbert Horton and other photographers had, I designed and built my own floating photography studio. I wouild very much like to get a nice print of the photo you used to annoucnce the show of Horton's photos at the Blackman House Museum -- the postcard sent out in May -- I wonder, also, if there are any other images of the orignial 'Gallery.'

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!   Peter Fromm

About a dozen visitors from the Redmond Senior Center were given a tour of our house museum on September 30, 2008. The tours feature an opportunity to sit down in the "Keeping Room" or former Living Room of the home for a background talk on how the Society came to own the house 40 years ago.

L to R: Katauna, Bryn (Susannah's sister), Susannah, Kevin, Lily, Nicole, and Darren were the winners determined by participant vote of the Most Creative Picnic Setting. This was our first free city wide Picnic in the Park on the shores of historic Blackman Lake and was a collaboration primarily with the Foundation for Sustainable Community and Kusler's. Marileen Richardson rounded up the live music by Sudden Change Blue Grass Band and Bryan Stratton John Denver and Originals. Susannah from the winning team (pictured) mentioned that she wanted the same musicians next summer since they inspired ideas for next summer's picnic setting!
