The Gaches Mansion now belongs to the Quilt & Textile Museum!

The purchase of the Gaches Mansion by the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum was completed March 1, 2005, 10 months after the Quilt & Textile Museum Board offered to buy the historic building from the Town of La Conner.

The Board of Directors of the Quilt & Textile Museum will now be sponsoring fundraisers and applying for grant money to make possible necessary repairs and renovations. Accounts have been established with Key Bank and Bank of America to receive donations for the Gaches Mansion, La Conner, Building Fund. The La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so all donations are tax deductible.

It's surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the State of Washington, from the North Cascades Scenic Highway to the awe-inspiring Rainbow Bridge and San Juan Islands.
