Puyallup Historical Society-Meeker Mansion

The historic Meeker Mansion was one of the homes of the first mayors of Puyallup, Ezra Meeker. He built it for his wife, Eliza Jane, after taking her on a trip to Europe, as she enjoyed the Victorian houses and wanted her own. Meeker built it for her on their three-acre property. It was finished by 1890 and took two and a half years to complete. At Meeker Mansion, you can see what life was like in the pioneer days, enjoy a film that shows Ezra crossing a river on a boat made from a covered wagon, and check out the ceiling tiles that were specifically painted to look like the sky above the home. There are books, postcards and sweatshirts from around the area for sale. Meeker Mansion also is a venue for parties and weddings, plus it offers tea specials and tours.

Karshner Memorial Museum

The Karshner Memorial Museum is nestled in a very clean and quiet neighborhood of historic downtown Puyallu. It was founded by Dr. and Mrs. Warner M. Karshner in memory of their son, who died in 1924 of polio. The museum is an honorary gift to the Puyallup School District and is a teaching museum with a collection of more than 10,000 items for viewing by students in the district and other areas in Pudget Sound. At the museum, you can touch a real elephant's foot, look inside a full-scale Plains Indian tepee and view an assortment of other fun exhibits. You'll want to wander through Fort Karshner to see the well-stocked trading post, old-time photography studio and covered wagon filled with supplies for a westward journey.
