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.
