SUMMARY:CCHM Speaker Series: How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery
DESCRIPTION:CCHM Speaker Series Presents: How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery\nThe Clark County Historical Museum is proud to present the next installment of its Speaker Series\, How America Talks (Differently) About Slavery\, on Thursday\, February 5\, 2026\, at the Clark County Historical Museum. \nSince colonial times\, religious and political divides have shaped how Americans discuss and interpret the history of slavery. From The New York Times’ 1619 Project to the Trump administration’s 1776 Report\, competing visions of race and slavery reflect long-standing tensions between critiquing and celebrating America’s past. \nIn this timely and thought-provoking talk\, attendees will explore the ongoing debates surrounding the history of slavery and how these conversations continue to influence education\, politics\, religion\, and culture. The presentation will examine how struggles over historical memory extend beyond the classroom into the public sphere\, revealing the central role these debates play in America’s fractured civic life and national identity. \nThe evening will feature guest speaker R. Charles Weller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of History (Career) at Washington State University and Senior Research Fellow at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Dr. Weller’s work focuses on religious-cultural identity and relations in Western-Asian and world history. He has published extensively in both English and Kazakh and is currently working on a multi-volume study examining how Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic sacred law traditions have shaped American legal heritage. Dr. Weller resides in Redmond\, Washington. \nAdmission to this program is free and open to the public. However\, space is limited\, and advance registration is required to ensure a seat. Register here. \nThis program is made possible with generous support from Humanities Washington\, the Vancouver NAACP Branch 1139 – B\, and the Historic Preservation Commission. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Echoes of Fort Vancouver: How the Fur Trade Shaped Clark County
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE Opening Reception: Saturday\, December 13\, 2025 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\n Location: Clark County Historical Museum\, 1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660\n Admission: Free and open to the public \nThe Clark County Historical Museum is proud to announce the opening of its newest exhibit\, Echoes of Fort Vancouver: How the Fur Trade Shaped Clark County\, debuting Saturday\, December 13\, 2025. The opening reception will take place from 5:00 to 7:00 PM and is free and open to the public. \nTimed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s (HBC) Fort Vancouver\, this exhibit explores how centuries of trade—beginning with Indigenous networks that predate European contact—transformed the region into a vital center of commerce and culture. \nExhibit Highlights\nEchoes of Fort Vancouver guides visitors through centuries of exchange and adaptation—beginning with the extensive Indigenous trade networks that crisscrossed the Pacific Northwest\, through the maritime fur trade of the 18th century\, and into the establishment of Fort Vancouver in 1825. The exhibit also examines the lasting impact of trade on the county’s industries\, agriculture\, and cultural landscape. \nKey exhibit sections include: \n\nCrossroads and Trade Routes: The Indigenous trade systems of the region before European contact.\nThe Hudson’s Bay Company: The rise of one of the world’s most powerful trading enterprises and its North American expansion.\nLife at Fort Vancouver: A look at the diverse people and communities who lived and worked at the fort.\nGrowth\, Change\, and Tension: How increasing American migration transformed the region.\nIndustry and Agriculture: The roots of Clark County’s economic development.\nAsian American and Pacific Islander and Native Nations Today: The continuing contributions of Hawaiian and Native communities in shaping Clark County.\n\nThe exhibit features historic maps\, artwork\, and artifacts\, including depictions of HBC’s vast territories\, reconstructed views of Fort Vancouver\, and 17th-century fur trade imagery from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. \nA special section\, “Impact of the Fur Trade\,” highlights how the overharvesting of beaver populations and environmental changes still resonate today—contrasting 19th-century exploitation with modern conservation efforts. \nThe Clark County Historical Museum gratefully acknowledges the support of our exhibit sponsors\, whose partnership has made this exhibition possible: \nClark College Foundation \nC-TRAN \nHeritage Bank \nRealVest \nRiverview Bank \nWSU Vancouver (WSUV) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: “What Is a Chief? How Native Values Can Teach Resilience”
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM) concludes its 2025 Speaker Series with “What Is a Chief? How Native Values Can Teach Resilience\,” featuring Native artist and former tribal leader John Halliday. The event will take place Thursday\, November 6\, 2025\, at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660).\n Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. Admission is free\, but registration is required. Visit cchmuseum.org for tickets. \nAt age 55\, John Halliday became legally blind. A Muckleshoot Tribal member of Duwamish ancestry\, Halliday credits his Native American worldview\, cultural traditions\, and values—practices that have sustained Native tribes long before colonization—with helping him overcome the challenges of losing his sight. \nToo often\, our understanding of American history begins with the arrival of European powers\, overlooking the thriving Indigenous communities that already existed. Through his personal story\, Halliday offers audiences a deeper understanding of Washington State history from a Native perspective\, and how these enduring cultural values can teach us about resilience and leadership today. \nAbout the Speaker\nJohn Halliday (he/him) is a legally blind Native American artist of Muckleshoot\, Duwamish\, Yakama\, and Warm Springs descent. He recently retired from the Bureau of Indian Affairs\, where he served as Deputy Regional Director for the Navajo Region\, and has also held leadership roles as CEO for the Muckleshoot and Snoqualmie Tribes. \nAs an artist known by the name Coyote\, Halliday’s work has been featured at Lakewold Gardens\, ANT Gallery\, and the Sacred Circle Galleries of American Indian Art. He currently resides in Steilacoom\, Washington. \nThis program is sponsored by Humanities Washington and the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:History on Tap: UFO Northwest — How Washington State Spawned the Men in Black
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:Speaker Series: The Murder of JoAnn Dewey\, presented by Pat Jolotta
DESCRIPTION:Before midnight on March 19\, 1950\, startled bystanders outside Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Vancouver\, Washington\, witnessed a horrifying scene: two men forcing a screaming young woman into a car. That woman\, JoAnn Dewey\, was never seen alive again. \nDewey had recently moved to Portland to work and share an apartment with a friend. On this fateful night\, she missed her bus home and walked to the hospital\, planning to spend the night with another friend. By the next morning\, a massive search for her was underway. \nThe case culminated in the longest trial in Clark County history at the time and ended with a death sentence for the Wilson brothers. Yet the story did not end there—appeals\, escapes\, and shocking courtroom testimony kept the case in the headlines until their execution in 1953. \nLocal historian and author Pat Jollota will lead us through the twists\, turns\, and dark truths of this remarkable case\, shedding new light on one of the region’s most disturbing chapters. \nPlease Note: Due to ongoing upgrades to the Clark County Historical Museum’s roof\, this month’s Speaker Series will be hosted at the Historic Covington House. Seating is extremely limited. Registration is required. This event is free and open to the public. \nAbout Pat Jollota\nPat Jollota is a beloved historian\, author\, and former Vancouver City Council member whose work has shaped how Clark County remembers its past. Over two decades on the council\, she championed historic preservation and community initiatives\, including helping establish the Arthur D. Curtis Children’s Justice Center. As curator of the Clark County Historical Museum\, she inspired countless residents with her deep love of local history. Jollota is the author of numerous books\, including Naming Clark County\, The Murder of JoAnn Dewey in Vancouver\, Washington\, and Haunted Vancouver. Recognized as Clark County’s First Citizen in 2012\, she continues to be celebrated for preserving the stories that define our community.

This important follow-up event builds on last year’s dialogue and will take place at the Clark County Historical Museum on Wednesday\, September 24\, at 6 PM. \nContinuing the ConversationIn fall 2024\, our community gathered to discuss the “Firsts” monument located along Officers Row in the Vancouver Historic Reserve. Together\, we explored how this monument reflects local history and the ways monuments can shape our understanding of the past. \nThis year’s session will dig deeper into the issues raised in that first conversation. Attendees will engage in dialogue about the monument’s role in representing our community’s history and consider how monuments like this can—or should—help us learn about the past. \nThe Importance of Contextualizing HistoryBetween 1900 and 1950\, the Washington State Historical Society installed over 40 monuments to commemorate white settlers. Many of these markers lack historical context\, contain outdated or harmful language\, and often ignore Indigenous perspectives. \nIn 2020\, WSHS committed to addressing these legacies. With guidance from public historians\, Indigenous historians\, and Tribal representatives\, the Society continues to evaluate these monuments and create opportunities for inclusive\, community-driven dialogue. \nYour Voice MattersThe insights gathered during these community conversations will help guide future actions regarding the “Firsts” monument and others across Washington State. Options under consideration include removal\, redesign\, or the addition of new interpretive signage. \nBy participating\, you help ensure that the stories we tell in public spaces reflect the full breadth of our shared history. \nAbout the ProjectThis initiative is part of the Dialogue in Place project\, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. The project seeks to reassess 42 historical monuments across Washington State through community conversations and government-to-government consultation with Tribal Nations. The goal is to develop new tools for understanding and engaging with our state’s complex history. \nJoin UsWe invite community members to attend and lend their voices to this vital conversation. Together\, we can shape how our region remembers the past and imagines the future. \nThis program is part of the Washington State Historical Society’s Dialogue in Place project\, presented in partnership with the Clark County Historical Museum. \nRegister here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=r5nFoiwDuUqxPukepzmCw3mG4k2YG85FgBIHGPibE-FUN0Y3ODBXQUdRN1MxUFJOTThSWEs0UE1MTCQlQCN0PWcu \n
