The Old Snohomish Village is a reconstructed microcosm of a late 19th century town, complete with blacksmith, weaver's shop, general store and homes. The Village is temporarily closed for repairs.
Architecture makes Snohomish unique
Snohomish's historic business and residential districts feature an eclectic mix of turn-of-the-century architecture. Founded in 1859, Snohomish is listed in the National Historic Register as one of the oldest communities in Washington. Snohomish is not just another garden-variety rural town, but a community with a proud pioneer heritage beckoning to be discovered. Snohomish's architecture is a curious potpourri where builders used a pick-and-choose mix of styling. This is evident on the Blackman House on the corner of Fourth Street and Avenue D. Although the house is a Dutch Colonial revival-style, it has Queen Anne towers. The Blackman House also sports the early lumberman's name in brass letters in the sidewalk, and a leaded, beveled-glass door. Another example of fanciful architecture is the Klein house on Avenue D between First and Second streets. The house is a conglomerate of Victorian features, including fish-scale shingles and rounded windows. From Greek revival and English Tudor to Queen Anne Victorian and the classic box, the buildings of Snohomish reflect the diversity of its pioneer residents.
