Voices from the Past 

April 21, 2011

Wednesday - 12:00P.M. 

Voices from the Past programs addressing topics of interest to the community are now a brown bag lecture series. Admission to all Voices from the Past programs is free and available to everyone. This year, bring your lunch and spend an hour with history. Soft drinks and water will be available.

 

What Is That?: Unusual and Offbeat People, Places, Things, and Events in Washington State

Why does downtown Winlock feature a statue of the world's largest egg, and why is there a drive-through stump displayed at a rest-stop on I-5? Washington is notorious for its offbeat and unusual landmarks. This presentation will explore the cultural, economic, artistic, historic, and philosophical influences on local and state history by exploring iconic and unusual objects, events, and stories. Learning the often-forgotten or untold story behind an artifact or event leads to a discussion of history and community identity and brings added meaning and context to objects and events within a community.
