Putting up the bountiful harvest for a long winter. Activities and discussion of how to put up and store foods in the mid-19th century. Panel of our Living Historians. Mary Borst had a lovely, in that day, very modern cook stove. Joseph also built her a state of the art pantry, which kept things cool ~ one of my personal favorites in the house.
Join storyteller and Quinault Tribal Ambassador Harvest Moon to hear tales from the Northwest Coast Indian tradition. This program is part of Timberland Reads Together, featuring “There There” by Tommy Orange and Native Voices, focused on Indigenous Peoples history and culture.
Make your own boat and test out its sea-worthiness in our fountain! Younger children will enjoy testing objects at our sink or float station.
Living Historian Beverly York will present Friendship Quilts, how the pioneers moving west would take a part of their friends and family history with them. Volunteer Coordinator Sara Light-Waller will show how to put a signature on the quilt block, as they did in the mid-19th century.
If you are looking to have an evening of super duper fun where you can just laugh, gab and grub then this is the event for you! Zonta Club of Olympia collaborates with Open Road Productions and this year’s theme is an interactive 70s murder mystery. Costumes are encouraged but not required.
The cost for this fun evening is $75 which includes appetizers, dinner and the play. There will be a no-host cash bar.
