This group of dedicated individuals are responsible for running the museum, caring for the landscape on all ten acres of Worthington Park, maintaining all buildings, overseeing the Hamilton/Worthington house, orchestrating public events, communicating with the public and much more.
The museum has published books about the history of Quilcene, Washington, and Brinnon, Washington.[3][4][5][6]
