Don’t Miss Memories of Megler on view through October 1st
Our summer exhibition
Memories of Megler has been a big
hit. With hundreds of photographs, news articles and personal
accounts, this exhibition has been
bringing back many memories of
the Ferry years. The
exhibition traces the
history of Megler from
its acquisition by the
Ilwaco Railway and
Navigation Company
in 1900 to the “Ferry
Wars” of the early
1930s. In 1933 Megler
was acquired by
Captain Fritz Elving and the Auto
Ferries flourished with the Tourist
No. 2, Tourist No. 3 and the
Chessman transporting hundreds
of cars and passengers between
Megler and Astoria. Memories of
Megler features personal accounts
by local residents of riding those
Ferries and watching the building
of the Astoria-Megler Bridge. The
Bridge opened July 29, 1966
becoming the last-to-be-completed
coastal highway link from Baja to
British Columbia.

Julia Harrison
Ripe for the Telling: Surprising Stories of Washington Fruit
A Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau Event
What is the messy and juicy
history of Washington’s produce
industry? Who was Cashmere’s
Cider King? From apples to
oranges, huckleberries to durian to
cranberries, anthropologist Julia
Harrison will cover how these
perishable products preserve
historic events and reflect our
changing relationship to the natural
world. This discussion includes a
large cast of characters: pioneers,
entrepreneurs, orchardists, labor
activists, a horticultural prodigy
and Cashmere’s own “Cider King.”
Full of suspense, tragedy, triumph,
heroism and even some romance,
this presentation will reveal some
of our state’s juiciest stories.
Beyond providing nutrition and
injecting billions of dollars into
Washington State’s economy, fruit
connects us to the past, to the
environment and to people we may
never meet.
This lecture is free thanks to
Humanities Washington’s
Speakers Bureau. Speakers Bureau
fosters inquiring minds through
engaging conversations about
history, culture, geopolitical issues
and more.
Find Your Passion for Local History!
2017 marks year 5 for the
museum’s Community Historian
Project! This successful program
will begin on Wednesday January
11, 2017. The goal of the
Community Historian Project is to
develop a cohesive group of
knowledgeable people, who can
share their interest in heritage with
one another and the larger
community. The Project consists
of 15 weeks of classes, speakers,
tours, demonstrations and
opportunities. The experience you
receive from participating in this
project is intended to provide you
with the knowledge, contacts and
ability to become a resource and
share your historical knowledge
with others.
Over the past four years
session topics have ranged from
settlement history to the evolution
of rails, roads and bridges to
logging and lifesaving. Participants
also receive training in using
archives, doing research with
original artifacts and
exploring the built
environment. The 2017
session is shaping up to be
another great year.
The program schedule and
application will be available at the
Columbia Pacific Heritage
Museum beginning on October 1,
2016. The deadline for applications
is December 16th. The fee is $100
for the 15 week program, some
scholarships are available. Please
call the Museum at 360-642-3446 if
you have questions or would like
an application mailed to you.

Tabletop Tourism: Picturing America
October 21-March 4
Opening Reception Friday, October 21 from 5-7pm
Many of us have fond
memories of traveling through the
United States by car. Stops were
often since the car’s gas mileage
was low and truck stops, roadside
attractions and souvenir shops
were plentiful. Today, vintage
souvenir linens are very collectible,
as more and more collectors are
drawn to the charm of these pieces
of our past. Not only are they
collectibles you can use, but they
also convey a real sense of
nostalgia of days gone by. They are
a gentle reminder of the United
States of our childhood, quaint
roadside attractions, and rural
small towns that today are rapidly
disappearing. Collectors are
attracted to the pleasing
combination of strong graphics,
bright colors and the dizzying
array of designs and textures. All
states at one time sold souvenir
tablecloths.
Although State Souvenir
tablecloths were produced as early
as the 1920s, they rapidly increased
in popularity and by the late 1940s
the combination of consumer
demand and new car production
reinvigorated American car culture
and more people traveled by car
on vacation. Americans were eager
to take to the road to discover
America, buying souvenir linens
from the states they visited. It is
easy to find examples of these
souvenir linens with their original
tags still attached, since they were
put away in the linen drawer soon
after the family returned from
vacation.
This private collection of over
30 state tablecloths gives as a great
opportunity to relive those auto
touring days and even learn a bit
about the states. Each state is
usually depicted with its state
flower, bird, and other fun facts.

6” x 6” Auction Saturday November 5
6” x 6” auction is the largest
fundraiser for the Columbia Pacific
Heritage Museum and this year
we’re in a state! Actually we’re in
all 50 states! Event organizers
Dian Schroeder,
Wendi Peterson, and
Chris Jensen have
gathered 6” x 6”
artworks by some of
the region’s premier
artists for the 2016
event. Six additional
auction items of the
highest quality have
also been secured.
Auctioneer Bruce Peterson will
again keep things jumping and the
always excellent cooking crew is
planning delicious regional treats
for the evening. The popular 6 x 6
Raffle is back this year as well.
Just 50 tickets will be sold ($20
each) with the winner taking home
the artwork of their choice.
Tickets for the evening event are
still only $10 and are available at
the Museum Shop.
All of the artwork will be on
view in the Special Exhibition
gallery from October 21 until
November 5th and available to
view on the Museum’s website
www.columbiapacificheritagemuseum.org.
Jacob’s Gate
Thanks to the Templin Foundation the Museum has been able
to replace its rusted courtyard
fence with a work of art! For the
new fence, Jacob Moore of Jacob’s
Hammer Metalwork took his design cues from turn-of–the-century
railroads. The fence design is reminiscent of a “cow catcher” often
seen on locomotives. “We are excited to have worked with a local
craftsperson on this project.” Said
Museum Director Betsy Millard.
“ While Jacob’s Hammer is a
young business, Jacob Moore is a
talented metal worker with a proven background for the successful
completion of large scale projects.”

Museum Store
The Museum store features an
eclectic group of books, art, and
gift items all focused on the
Columbia Pacific region.
If you need a great gift for
yourself or someone special make
it local! Locally caught canned tuna
is available thanks to a generous
donation from Sportsman’s
Cannery and Mark and Victoria
Whitman. Custom labels honoring
the IR&N were designed and
printed by our own Amy Bozorth.
We have recently added the
work of noted photographer Bruce
Peterson. Bruce is known for his
images of the Ilwaco area, the port,
lighthouses and coastal scenes.
The shop continues to carry the
work of other excellent local
artisans including new work by
jewelry-maker Sandra Lill and
wood turnings by Richard
Schroeder.
If you have always wanted
one of the great vintage photographs from the Museum’s
collection, we now have
reproductions of several highly
sought after photographic prints.
Selections include images of the
Clamshell Railroad, and the Ferry
among others.
New books have been added
to the shelves. Long Beach Short
Stories Possibly Untrue Tales form the
Pacific Northwest, by James A.
Tweedie.
Was the body found in Cole
McCrae’s cranberry bog the victim
of a tragic accident or murder?
What might happen if a valuable
pearl was found in a Willapa Bay
Oyster? With local author James
Tweedie telling the tales you won’t
know for sure until you’ve read the
final page!
Next, This Side of Sand Island
Reflections on Fish, Finns and Finding
Out About Family on the Lower
Columbia, by Victoria Stoppiello is a
collection of essays featuring the
author’s life and that of her family
in Ilwaco. Earlier versions of these
essays were originally published in
the Chinook Observer, for which the
author was a correspondent for
many years.
Lastly, Sydney Stevens brings
true crimes to light in Jailhouse
Stories from Early Pacific County.
Hangings, lynchings and jail breaks
are long forgotten in Pacific
County, where tourists flock to
quaint attractions every season. But
back in the early days, when the
first jailhouse was built, this was a
rough, rustic setting. Historian
Sydney Stevens presents a
collection of tales culled from a
forgotten prison record book.

Spotlight on Collections
When you were in high school
did you have a favorite place to go
after the football game? If you
lived here on the Peninsula it might
have been Red’s Café in Ilwaco.
French fries and Coke was the favorite after game fare.
Red’s Restaurant as we knew it
was operated from 1964-1981 by
Jim “Red” and his wife Helen
“Smokey” O’Connell. The property was purchased in 1986 after Red
retired, and continued as a
restaurant until 2004 when it
was sold again. It operated
as an antique mall for seven
months until December
when a fire damaged much
of the building. It was eventually torn down leaving a
large vacancy in downtown
Ilwaco.
Red’s Café sign c.a. 1970’s. This sign was the
main sign for the restaurant for many years.
It is on display in the museum.

Collections Corner: Keeping Our History Alive
Donella Lucero, Collections Coordinator
So often when people think of
history and museums they think of
the distant past; our grandparents
time, a time we are unfamiliar with
and are curious about. What we
often lose sight of is the history
that is all around us. We are living
history every day. What happens
today is history tomorrow.
In fifty years when a larger
picture of our lives emerges how
will our museums interpret life in
the 50’s as we emerged from
World War II? How will we show
the future of our own communities
both pre and post-9/11? We can’t
forget about our history in the mid
to late twentieth or early twentyfirst centuries. As I look through
our collections I am beginning to
see some gaps in the more recent
history of the Peninsula.
This Museum is like most
small Museums – we rely on the
generosity of our community to
save pieces of our story. We have
been extraordinarily blessed with
wonderful artifacts, photographs,
and ephemera given to us by you,
the Museum community, but we
do have some holes in the collection and so we ask your help.
For instance we have received
several requests for information
about local businesses, restaurants,
motels, grocery and souvenir stores
that populated the Peninsula in the
1950s, 1960s and 70s. We have had
a great deal of interest in commercial fishing boats operating out of
our Ports at Ilwaco, Chinook and
Nahcotta. Pictures and the stories
that these places hold are vital
parts of our history that resonate
with both residents and visitors
alike.
What is the museum interested in? Any item from the Peninsula
and Pacific County area that gives
us a small picture of life in our
communities. Photos, menus, playbills, programs for events, advertising of places and events, brochures, promotional items, a short
history of your business and the
people involved. We are looking
for any item that will allow those in
the future to see how we have lived
in the past 60 years up until yesterday. Help us continue to keep history alive for our children and
grandchildren. If you have any
questions, please contact Donella
Lucero or Amy Bozorth at 360-642
-3446.

TOURIST No. 2: A Veteran’s Day Salute
Drawing from 1966 dedication booklet for
Astoria-Megler bridge
Within hours after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, December 7,
1941, TOURIST No.2 was commandeered by a U.S. Coast
Guard Artillery contingent stationed at nearby Ft. Stevens. The
U.S. government paid Capt. S. F. “Fritz” Elfving $35,000 for the
craft. Renamed the OCTOPUS, her superstructure was shortened, radar added, and used to lay mines at the mouth of the
Columbia River. Elfving bought her back at the end of the war.
In 1946 she was sold along with Elfving’s other ferryboats and
service, to the Oregon State Highway Commission which ran the
ferry service from Astoria to Megler.
From Ferryboats on the Columbia River, Robert H. Ruby and John A. Brown, 1974

Meet our New Volunteers
Ilwaco Heritage Foundation
Board of Directors
We welcome Janice
Thompson as our
newest Front Desk
volunteer in the
Museum’s gift shop.
Janice and her husband
Stanley moved here last
year from San Jose,
California. She is a published poet, who homeschooled their
daughter and has volunteered her time previously at the Tech
Museum of Innovation and the NASA Ames Research Center.
When asked how she found us, she replied, “Zillow and
Google!” A San Francisco native, she wanted to be near the
ocean and have a nice kitchen. Toward that end she met fellow
volunteer Joni Pitts. Wanting to find out about the area and her
new home, she came to us. Janice has already filled in as
substitute at the desk taking care of visitors, and will be
working half days on Tuesdays every week.
Our newest volunteer in
Collections is Brittany
Pellerin. A recent graduate
from Washington State
University with a degree in
History and minor in
Communications, Brittany
is originally from
Marysville, WA and moved
to the Peninsula to join her family, who relocated to Ocean
Park while Brittany was still in school.
Brittany is currently working with the Museum’s
photographic collection and will soon begin working with our
artifacts. Britany hopes to pursue a career in the museum field
and will take this volunteer opportunity to learn the ins and
outs of museum work.
