The Swedish Finn Historical Society is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington that is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and culture of Swedish Finns in the region. Swedish Finns are individuals of Finnish descent who emigrated to Sweden and later settled in the United States, primarily in the Pacific Northwest.

The society was founded in 1983 and has since grown to become an important resource for research, education, and community outreach. It maintains an archive of historical documents, photographs, and artifacts related to Swedish Finn heritage, which is open to the public by appointment. The society also hosts events and programs throughout the year, including lectures, workshops, and cultural celebrations.

One of the society's main initiatives is the restoration and preservation of the Swedish Finn Historical Site, which is located on Vashon Island in Puget Sound. The site includes the original homestead of Swedish Finn pioneers, as well as a museum and research center. The society has been working to restore the buildings and grounds and to develop educational programs for visitors.

Overall, the Swedish Finn Historical Society serves as an important resource for preserving and promoting the history and culture of Swedish Finns in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
