Gilman Town Hall Museum and Jail
Built in 1886, Gilman Town Hall is believed to be one of the oldest buildings still standing in the vicinity of downtown Issaquah. Now a museum, you can tour the building, including a hands-on kitchen exhibit, as well as the two-room concrete building in the backyard that was used as a jail from 1914-1930. The permanent exhibit entitled “In This Valley: The Story of Our Town” will give you insight into the birth and evolution of the city.
In 2018, the Gilman Town Hall was recognized for its historic value, and is now a King County Landmark and an Issaquah Landmark.
