About Us

Both Tumwater Falls Park and the Schmidt House are operated and maintained by the nonprofit Olympia Tumwater Foundation.

Established in 1950 by members of the Schmidt family and other local citizens, the Foundation has become the largest source of college scholarships for Thurston County high school students. Since its inception, the program has aided more than 380 local students with over $925,000 applied toward their college educations.

In addition to making the Schmidt House and Tumwater Falls Park available to the public, the Foundation also contributes to local projects. The spectacular replica of the Tivoli Fountain on the grounds of the State Capitol is one of the Foundation's creations outside the boundaries of the Park.

The Foundation is operated by a board of trustees. Tax-exempt contributions to the Foundation are used to permit year-round operation of the Park and the Schmidt House or for assistance to college-bound students.
