Our projects… Parlor 30 has four major projects that are ongoing:

• TILLYfest – Fundraiser for downtown Woodland history museum
• Fiscal receiver for Woodland Art Center / Dead Cat Alley 9 Lives Project
• Union Church of Dunnigan Restoration with UCoD Trustees

Our goals for 2024-25… We’re presenting TILLYfest for the third year to raise funds for a unique museum that will be Woodland’s next must-see venue. The recruitment of members and working with other historical groups are keys to this goal. The group also selects historic sites to create markers that will enhance the experience of all visitors to downtown… and… we offer historical tours, including Dead Cat Alley presentations during our Woodland History Tours events. We will continue to participate in First Friday Art & History Walks and the annual Stroll Through History.
