North Clark Historical Museum: Interpretive Plaque Dedication

The event will include a welcome and dedication by North Clark Historical Museum Board President Debi Zitt, remarks from Cynthia Swanson, State Marking & Preservation Chair of CDXVIIC, and brief comments from the Clark County Historical Museum Executive Director Brad Richardson. This new historical interpretive plaque highlights the important history of the Amboy United Brethren Church which houses the North Clark Historical Museum.

The Museum in upper Amboy that looks like a church holds many secrets from the past. Once a church built in 1910, it is presently the home of many relics of the northwest. In 1988 a few concerned Amboy residents rescued the church from the wrecking ball and filled it with treasures of the past for all to enjoy. In addition to the inside exhibits a number of outdoor exhibits have been added. Less than a one-hour drive from I-5 via Vancouver, Battle Ground, or Woodland, the scenic drive is well worth it.

In the midst of the natural beauties of North Clark County Washington, the Museum delightfully compliments fishing, camping, boating, hiking, and many other attractions. In Yacolt, enjoy a ride on one of the last steam driven railroads in the country. An hour north, you can visit the south rim of Mount St. Helens. Ask at the Museum for directions to marvelous local attractions you can visit.

This plaque is a product of the CCHM Historic Buildings Plaque Program, which is designed to provide interpretive plaques for buildings, structures, and/or locations. Sites are selected by the CCHM and their partners and must be recognized on local, state, and/or national registers of historic places. Funds for this program are provided by the Courtney Irvin Foundation and require a match. The Hannah Mayhew Daggett Chapter, National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century, in Vancouver, Washington have generously provided the match for this plaque.
