The Thorp Mill has decided to take a break from the annual fund-raising auction in spring, 2024. Thanks to a generous anonymous donation through the Seattle Foundation, successful grants, developing partnerships, and the support of community members like you, we will not hold an auction this spring. Instead, we will focus on updating interpretive displays and activities for our summer season. Please plan to visit the Thorp Mill next summer in person to see our progress. We’ll be open and waiting for you!

Thorp Mill Town Historical Preservation Society Board of Directors

Each year in May, the community gathers to raise money to support the ongoing efforts of both preserving the Thorp Mill and maintaining access to the public. The current board works diligently to ensure that funds raised are thoughtfully spent in support of our ongoing efforts. The annual dinner/auction is by far our most significant source of funding and we encourage the community to come out and enjoy a fantastic evening of good food, social interaction, and participate in the support of a good cause.

Donations:

Fundraising keeps an important part of your local history alive. You can help the Thorp Mill by making a donation. We are looking for merchandise, gift certificates, the donation of services/activities from your business, or cash in any amount. Item donations information can be submitted here by emailing us at info@thorp.org.
