Historic Ellensburg is a group of individuals dedicated to
protecting the irreplacable heritage of Ellensburg and the
Kittitas Valley. We believe that safeguarding our historic
buildings and neighborhoods is essential to maintaining our
quality of life - that such places reflect our collective identity,
teach our children, and enrich our community. Through
advocacy, education and collaboration, Historic Ellensburg
promotes progress through historic preservation.

We are a diverse group of individuals; contractors, business
owners, artists, engineers, university professors, farmers,
housewives, students, workers, and retirees. We are recognized
as a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are entirely publicly
supported, and have no paid staff.

Members have served on the city council, and on the city
planning commission. Others have been active on the city's
design review board, or served as the major, successful, grant
writer in the rehabillitation of our historic county fair and rodeo
grounds. Our current major project is to buy, rehabilitate, and
use the old Northern Pacific Railroad Station. We call the effort,
Save Our Station, (SOS).
