By looking at Fourth Plain’s past, historians are identifying ways to combat gentrification and community displacement along Vancouver’s international corridor.

The Fourth Plain project, part of the Clark County Historical Museum’s Clark County Stories series, highlights people who lived in the district since the mid-20th century. The virtual exhibit, available in the fall, is an attempt to showcase the corridor’s robust stories to embolden the work done by nonprofit Fourth Plain Forward, historian Katie Bush said.
