Adams County Historical Society - Washington State

Adams County Historical Society - Washington State Established in 1952, we celebrate, protect, and seek to teach the rural and agricultural histories of Adams County, Washington. Samuel A.

The Adams County Historical Society is a non-profit organization that was established in 1952 to celebrate the history of Adams County, Washington and its communities, protect the county’s artifacts, explain the history of Adams County as well as the towns and cities located within its boundaries and provide access to research assistance to genealogists and historians. Adams County, located in sou

theastern Washington, is the 14th largest county in the state and covers 1,925 square miles. It is bounded by Lincoln County on the north, Whitman to the East, Franklin to the south and Grant on the west. Wells, known as “Adams County’s first politician,” went to Olympia as an earnest lobbyist financed by his neighbors and talked the territorial legislature into carving both Adams and Franklin Counties out of the vast realms of Whitman County. The act creating Adams County (population 150) was approved Nov. 28, 1883.
