SUMMARY:History on Tap: Liberty Factory - A Look at the Kaiser Shipyards
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Museum is pleased to welcome back author and maritime journalist Peter Marsh for the next installment of its popular History on Tap series. Marsh will present “Liberty Factory: A Look at the Kaiser Shipyards” on Thursday\, February 19\, 2026\, at 7:00 PM at the Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield. \nIn this engaging presentation\, Marsh will explore the remarkable story of Henry Kaiser’s World War II shipyards in the Pacific Northwest and their profound impact on the ports and communities of the lower Columbia River between 1940 and 1945. Drawing from rare photographs\, personal diaries\, and firsthand accounts\, Marsh brings to life the region’s vital—yet often overlooked—role in what President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called the “Arsenal of Democracy.” \nBorn in 1947 in Greenwich\, England\, Peter Marsh developed an early passion for boats and maritime history. After emigrating to the United States in 1972\, he settled in Portland and built a 20-foot sailboat by hand\, exploring much of the Pacific Northwest. These adventures launched a successful career in marine journalism\, where Marsh covered regional maritime life from fishing and recreation to commercial shipping. \nIn 1996\, Marsh inherited an extensive archive of papers and photographs from Larry Barber\, the late marine editor of The Oregonian. A visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy inspired Marsh to take a closer look at Barber’s wartime materials\, uncovering a rich and detailed record of Oregon and Southwest Washington’s shipbuilding efforts during World War II. Over the past several years\, Marsh has shared this research with audiences throughout the lower Columbia River region\, helping to revive interest in the area’s critical contribution to the war effort. \nHistory on Tap is presented through the generous support of Old Liberty Theater\, Ridgefield Main Street\, and Building Industry Association of Clark County. Admission is $5 for the general public and free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. Registration is required and available here.

DESCRIPTION:History on Tap: UFO Northwest — How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black\nThursday\, October 16\, 2025Kiggins Theatre | 1011 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660Doors open at 6:00 PM | Program begins at 7:00 PM \nJoin us at the historic Kiggins Theatre for the next installment of History on Tap as we dive into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most fascinating and eerie tales of government secrecy\, UFOs\, and the origin of the “Men in Black.” \nOn August 1\, 1947\, the crash of a B-25 bomber in Washington State triggered a federal investigation into “The Maury Island Incident”—an event widely considered the first reported UFO encounter involving the so-called Men in Black. Declassified FBI files from the time reveal a story shaped by Cold War paranoia\, interagency conflict\, cover-ups\, false confessions\, and the direct involvement of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. \nIn UFO Northwest: How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black\, guest speaker Steve Edmiston unravels this true Washington State mystery and explores its lasting influence on UFO lore in popular culture—from 1950s pulp magazines to The X-Files and the Men in Black films. He’ll also explore how the Northwest’s claim to UFO history has been challenged by other narratives across the country. \nAdmission: \nFree for Clark County Historical Museum members \n$5 in advance | $10 at the door for non-members \n\nAbout the Speaker\nSteve Edmiston (he/him) is a business and entertainment attorney with Bracepoint Law\, as well as a screenwriter and producer. He has spoken at the Pacific Northwest History Conference\, Washington State Historical Museum\, McMenamins History Pubs\, and film festivals and conferences across the region. He is the screenwriter and co-producer of The Maury Island Incident\, a short film based on the 1947 UFO sighting reported by Harold Dahl over Puget Sound. \n\nSponsored By\nThis program is made possible with generous support from:Vancouver’s Downtown Association\, Heritage Bank\, Humanities Washington\, Silver Keys Media\, and NW Legacy Law. \nTickets available here: https://www.kigginstheatre.com/movie/history-on-tap—ufo-northwest

SUMMARY:American Democracy’s Indigenous Roots and Future
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Your Ticket Now \nNEW DATE!!! History books teach us that the Founding Fathers birthed American democracy\, but do not reveal the Indigenous sources of inspiration that guided their vision. The Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s Great Law of Peace—uniting six Nations in an alliance that predates the American Constitution by centuries—served as a powerful example to men such as Benjamin Franklin\, who benefited from the political guidance of Haudenosaunee leaders. Franklin directly cited the Law’s influence on the Constitution. \nBut even Franklin did not comprehend the political and spiritual power held by the clan mothers of these matriarchal societies\, who were instrumental to building and maintaining a peaceful union. Join storyteller Fern Renville as she shares stories both mythic and personal that reframe and highlight the history\, present\, and future of Indigenous female power and leadership in America. Such stories include the Seneca story of The Peacemaker and the Dakota story of White Buffalo Calf Woman. \nThe 2022 History on Tap season is brought to you by Business Over Beer. Special thanks to our sponsors Humanities Washington\, Vancouver’s Downtown Association\, and Mickler & Associates. Program support provided by Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio).

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nNow entering its fourth season\, History on Tap looks at how the past influences our present and informs the future.

Her advocacy and dedication earned her recognition as Clark County’s First Citizen for 2012. She is also the author of 8 books exploring Clark County’s history – including her newest one\, Haunted Vancouver\, Washington (September 2020). \nThe evening will include our newest segment One History and a Lie\, where audience members try to figure out which tidbits of history are true and which ones are fake. We’re also bringing back the popular Clark County Trivia with a twist! This year the crew from our presenting sponsor\, Business Over Beer\, will compete all season for the title of “King of Trivia” as they try to answer questions about Clark County and beyond. \nAdmission to History on Tap is $15 in advance\, $18 at the door.
