Upcoming Events
Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest
Visit the GLM’s information booth at the Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest on Saturday, May 17th! We'll be presenting hands-on educational artifacts from the past for both children and adults. It promises to be an enjoyable experience for the entire family.
The Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest, hosted by the Wenatchee River Institute and the North Central Washington Audubon Society, takes place every third weekend in May. This annual event fosters conservation through a variety of educational and recreational activities centered around birds, wildlife, and their habitats.
Rake the Spring Twigs
Let’s Rake Up Some Fun and Give Back! Come one, come all—rain or shine—for a feel-good community cleanup at the Old North Road Cemetery! Grab your gloves, rakes, and tools, and meet us at 10 AM as we clear away spring twigs and refresh this cherished space.
We’ll keep the energy high with live tunes from the award-winning Alphorns, and Lunch is on us! Dan’s Food Market is bringing their famous “Danwiches” to fuel our hard work (arrive by 10 to put your order in). The official wrap-up is at noon, but you’re welcome to stick (groan) around and enjoy the good vibes!
Big thanks to Winton Composting for helping us make this cleanup eco-friendly by taking all the yard waste!
Let’s roll up our sleeves and rake up some fun while making a difference in our community. See you there!

Women in History: Our Founding Mothers a Dessert Theater
Join us in celebrating Women’s History Month with a screening of the 2006 Centennial program titled "Women of Substance," highlighting the contributions of women in the first 100 years of Leavenworth.
Our program, "Women in History: Our Founding Mothers," honors the first 14 out of 38 women recognized for their significant impact on the formation of our community during its early years. Their legacy continues to inspire us today!
