Did your ancestors mysteriously appear in Skagit County in the 1900 Census? Maybe they were in the Equality Colony. Join SVGS on Saturday March 14, 2026, at 1pm at the Burlington Public Library for “The Equality Colony of Skagit County” with Robert Burns, author of “Rebels in the Wild: The Equality Colony and the Taming of American Capitalism”. In the late 1890s a group of like-minded individuals came from around the country to establish a socialist colony in Skagit County. Find out who they were, what motivated them, why they chose Skagit County, and why the colony collapsed. Can’t make it to the Burlington Library, request a zoom link by emailing info@skagitvalleygenealogy.org.
