The Ryan House is a historic building in Sumner, Washington, United States that is now used as a museum.

The house was built by Fred Seaman as a one-room cabin. In 1872, George Ryan bought the property. He added onto the house in 1875 and 1885.

In 1926, Ryan's family donated the property to the town of Sumner for use as the Sumner Public Library.[2] The building housed the library from 1926 to 1979, and now houses the Sumner Historical Society, which operates the house as the Ryan House Museum.[3]
