In commemoration of the centennial of the National Park Service, we will be painting “Mountains Out”, a representation of our closet National Park, Mount Rainier. All painting supplies and instructions will be provided by The Merlot Canvas.
Even if you are worried about your artistic skills there will be guided instructions on the how to paint the perfect Mount Rainier! Guests will also be able to take their picture home with them! What a better way to help support the Lewis County Historical Museum and get a beautiful piece of artwork for your home or office.
