Building Community Through Culture & History
The Fife Historical Society is Celebrating 25 Years!
This year the Fife Historical Society is celebrating its 25th Silver Anniversary. The
original Articles of Incorporation and Application for a Non-Profit Corporation were
filed with the Washington State Secretary of State on December 26, 2000.
As of December, 2000, the business address of this new Non-Profit Corporation was
the law Offices of Franklin L. Dacca located at 1406 - 54th Avenue East in Fife near
the Poodle Dog Restaurant. The original Board of Directors were Franklin L. Dacca, Steve Kono, Mildred M. Bisig, Marian Wetsch and Boris Stefanoff.
Later this year the Board of Directors will announce when a celebration of this special anniversary will be held at the Fife History Museum.
The Fife Historical Society is now part of the North American Reciprocal Museum Association.

The Fife History Museum and Cultural Center is located in the former home of Louis Dacca, a member of the original Fife City Council. The Dacca home and the adjacent portion of land the family once farmed were acquired by the City of Fife in 2000. This farmland is now the site of Dacca Park, and the home has been renovated to serve as the history museum, where the exhibits change on a regular basis.
