Nowashe Village is owned and operated by the Friends of Wood Memorial Library & Museum, and located directly behind Wood Memorial Library.
Since incorporating as a non-profit organization in 1971, the Friends of Wood Memorial Library & Museum have created and operated the activities of the institution. Now under the logo and tag line: “The Wood: where history, nature and the arts come alive,” the Friends provide cultural and educational programs and exhibits, maintain archives for historical material, and still operate the library and museum. The Friends are guided by a Board of Directors, a part-time paid staff of five and a dedicated corps of volunteers, all supported by generous donations from the community.
