What’s in a Moniker? @ Centralia Timberland Library
Nov 23 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Tramp monikers, carvings or paintings left behind by individuals who lived their lives riding the rails, tell stories of America and its railroads from the 1870s to the present. Join us as The Historic Graffiti Society shares their history and the differences between tramps, hobos, and bums and the monikers they left behind.

Thanks to the Lewis County Historical Museum, attendees will receive guest passes to the museum, where monikers from some of America’s most famous artists, such as A-No.1 and Tex KT, can be found. Refreshments will be provided thanks to The Friends of the Centralia Library.

For Adults and Teens.
