Mission
The mission of the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is twofold: to collect, preserve, and exhibit quilts and textiles from local, national, and international artists, to provide an educational experience, and to preserve the historic Gaches Mansion.
Established in 1997, The La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is housed in the historic 1891 Gaches Mansion in the artistic waterfront town of La Conner, Washington. This unique museum features three stories of quilts and textiles that range from traditional to contemporary, with a focus on works from the Northwest. On the first floor, Victorian-era furnishings complement changing selections from the growing permanent collection.
With two new exhibits opening every three months and a rotation of quilts from our permanent collection, there is always something new to see at Washington State’s only quilt museum.
