WASHOUGAL — Members of the Camas-Washougal Historical Society Board of Directors have their place in local history as they work to preserve and share stories of the past through operation of the Two Rivers Heritage Museum.
Four new CWHS board members were welcomed to their three-year terms in January. They are Jason Ferrier, Josh Stahly, Trish Bayer and John Bayer, who is also the newly appointed Camas-Washougal Historical Society secretary.
“My love of history and my desire to learn about my community drew me to volunteer at the museum for the last 10 years,” explained Stahly.
“Sharing time and talent with museum volunteers is rewarding in so many ways,” said fellow board member Richard Johnson.
“It is a fun place to volunteer, especially if you love history,” added director Jim Cobb. “We have committees that allow people to follow their interests and do work that they enjoy. We need people to be docents and host visitors during museum hours, curate existing or create new displays, research artifacts and local history, help maintain and enhance the museum buildings and grounds, plan and produce educational programs and assist the community with their own local research.”
The museum will reopen for visitors Saturdays beginning March 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It has been closed since November for maintenance and exhibit refresh work. Prices are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $2 for students and free for children under 5 and CWHS members.
