In celebration of our 50th anniversary, the Washington Trust is pleased to present a special fireside chat with founding Washington Trust member David Nicandri.
Leading this evening’s fireside chat is David Nicandri, one of the Washington Trust’s founding board members from 1976. Based in Tumwater, Nicandri served as Executive Director of the Washington State Historical Society from 1987 to 2011, was editor of the society’s journal Columbia magazine, and has written a number of books about Pacific Northwest history. Nicandri will share reflections from the origin of the Washington Trust and the early days of the historic preservation movement in Washington State. (We also hope other former board members and audience members will share their own stories from preservation days gone by!)
Join us for this special look back at the Washington Trust’s founding era!

Accessibility Considerations. For those planning to attend events at the Stimson-Green Mansion, we want to note some of the mobility challenges of this venue. As a historic home built in 1901, the Stimson-Green Mansion is ACA compliant but not ADA accessible.
There are stairs at each entrance. At the front door, the primary entrance to the house, there are six steps (with a railing) up to the front porch, followed by an additional step into the house. Once inside, there are three additional steps (with a railing) between the main event area and the bathroom.
If you have any questions about Mansion accessibility, please contact Public Programs Specialist Abby Armato at .
