Here’s a crazy question for you……. a “mystery” question, if you will.
How many museums are there in Washington State? Give a guess…..
The answer: LOTS! MANY! I don’t really know how many!! But two things I do know. Almost every town, from bitty to big, is proud of its heritage and has a museum of some sort. And a new Museum Listing Database is now posted on our WSGS website!
The initial list was compiled by EWGS member Duane Beck and then turned over to Donna Phillips who then turned it over to our WSGS most-capable webmanager, Heather Murphy and viola! It’s there for all to view.
That’s not all; if YOU know if a museum or historical site or fort or any some such that is not on the list, you can click to send that information to our webmanager and she will get the list updated asap.
WSGS offers this to you for your traveling planning and for hometown researching. After all, isn’t it the stuff and artifacts of the pioneers of that place that fill those museums???
Thanks for the info. Haines, Oregon, (just out of Baker City) had a really great museum for the size town that Haines was. I am not sure if it is still open. My Aunt, Marie Relling, donated and loaned many of her “treasures” there before her passing.
