The mission of the Founders Museum is to promote the great game of golf in the Northwest.  All of the estimated 125,000 guests of the 2010 U.S. Senior Open will be invited to visit the museum during the week of the Championship.  The museum will be located in a high traffic area, next to the 18th fairway.  Trophies, prints, and photo exhibits will be on display, telling the story of how Sahalee Country Club, the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) have contributed to the rich history of golf in the Northwest.  Exhibits will include replicas of the Wanamaker and Ouimet Trophies, the respective trophies of the PGA Championship and U.S. Senior Open.

Also, the U.S. Senior Open is inviting golf-based charities to participate in the Founders Museum to promote their causes and programs with the overriding theme being, Golf is a Good Thing.  Charities will be represented during the entire week of the Championship, beginning Tuesday, July 27, and include: The First Tee, Friends of American Lake Veterans Golf Course, the First Green Foundation, Evans Scholars, Special Olympics of Washington, and the PNGA Foundation.
