SUMMARY:Fourth Plain Forward: Building Community
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum’s 2022 Speaker Series continues on Thursday\, September 1\, with “Fourth Plain Forward: Building Community” presented by Fourth Plain Forward director\, Paul Burgess\, CCHM public historian\, Katie Bush\, and CCHM public history intern\, Tanaka Axberg. The event will occur in-person at the Clark County Historical Museum. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nWhen people think of Vancouver\, Washington\, the city is often associated with a 19th century military fort\, the Columbia River\, and a connection to the Hudson’s Bay Company and the fur trade. Rarely are the stories of the neighborhoods developed during and post-World War II provided the same focus. Yet the people who lived\, worked\, and created these new communities in places such as Vancouver’s Fourth Plain Corridor are as intrinsic to the mosaic that is Vancouver today as those who first made contact with the Indigenous people of the region nearly 125 years ago. \nPart of Clark County Stories\, the Fourth Plain project is a collaboration between Fourth Plain Forward (FPF)\, Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV)\, and the Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM) to shed light on these narratives. In this presentation\, Burgess\, Bush\, and Axberg discuss the community’s history as well as current and future plans for the project. \nPaul Burgess is the Executive Director for Fourth Plain Forward. He is an accomplished professional and leader in the social impact space with a successful track record of implementing and advancing complex development programs. \nWith five years of experience in the Global South managing complex international development programming\, Paul has brought comprehensive leadership expertise of cross functional implementation\, delivery and management to this role at Fourth Plain Forward. \nPaul conceived of\, and built the international consultancy www.cdvglobal.com/ to bring equity of opportunity to local communities and nonprofits and has 5 years experience of managing international leadership development programs for young people and over 4 years of middle and high school teaching education experience. Prior to leaving the UK in 2007\, he was a senior operations manager in the UK Prison service\, leading Safer Custody\, anti-bullying and foreign nationals policy at HMP Pentonville in London. \nOver his career\, Paul has lived and worked in 10 countries spanning Asia\, Europe\, Latin America and North America. \nKatie Bush joined CCHM as the museum’s public historian in April 2021. She holds a Masters in Public History from Portland State University (2021) and a Bachelors in History from Western Washington University (2012). Katie was the recipient of the 2020 Oregon Heritage Fellowship from the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office for her work on the policing of impoverished communities in Progressive era Portland. Katie is passionate about surfacing often overlooked or forgotten historical narratives\, and looks forward to bringing this enthusiasm to her work at CCHM. \nTanaka Axberg has been a Vancouver resident since 2016. She graduated from WSUV in May of 2021 with her BA in History and recently finished her first year in the History Master’s Program at Portland State University. Tanka has been involved in and contributing to the Fourth Plain Forward project since it’s inception in 2020. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio). General admission is $5; seniors and students are $4; children under 18 are $3; and the evening is free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:"Vancouver Goes to the Movies" with Andy Gregg
DESCRIPTION:Since Vancouverites sat down together to watch a filming of Fitzsimmons and Corbel in 1897\, movies have held an important role as both entertainment and community connector. From the opening of the Palace Theater in 1909 to the Kiggins Theatre today\, the big screen continues to draw people from all backgrounds together for a singularly solitary and shared experience unmatched by other forms of media. Drawing on his research into the golden age of movie theaters in Vancouver\, Gregg explores Vancouver’s movie-going history with a look back at the rise and fall of the single screen theater as well the ways in which movies helped bridge social and racial divides. \nAndrew Gregg is a Vancouver native who saw his first big-screen movie at the Kiggins Theatre in 1961. After a K-12 education in Vancouver Public Schools\, Gregg graduated from Willamette University\, attended Gonzaga University School of Law\, and completed a master’s degree in public history at Washington State University. A National Board Certified teacher\, Gregg has served as Clark County Arts Commission’s chair\, and is currently a Clark County Historic Preservation Commissioner chair. Since 1973\, Gregg has written extensively about his hometown. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio). General admission is $5; seniors and students are $4; children under 18 are $3; and the evening is free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. \nDoors open at 5pm. Presentation begins at 7pm. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:From Water Wagons to Private Development: A History of Vancouver Water System
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum’s 2022 Speaker Series continues on Thursday\, May 5th\, with “From Water Wagons to Private Development: A History of Vancouver Water System” presented by Jim Pestillo. The event will occur in-person at the Historic Covington House (4201 Main St\, Vancouver\, WA 98663). Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nClean water is key to a healthy and prosperous community. While the Pacific Northwest has an abundance of natural water sources\, as cities and townships grew so did their pressures on these natural systems. From pollution to distance\, adequate water access proved an increasingly more difficult puzzle for community leaders to solve. In this presentation\, Jim Pestillo explores the history of Vancouver’s water systems and the relationship between those systems and the City’s growth. \nJim Pestillo is a retired engineer with an interest in local history. His article “Vancouver Water Delivery 1824-1930: From Water Wagons to Private Development” (2019) and “From Stinky Streets to Sewers: An Overview of Vancouver’s Water and Sewer Systems” (2020) both appeared in Clark County (WA) History published by the Clark County Historical Society. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio). This event will be free to the public. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Pat Jollata: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:The Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM) will open its 2022 History on Tap Season with “Pat Jollota: A Retrospective” at the Kiggins Theatre on April 21. 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. It’s built on the premise that history didn’t end on some dusty date on the calendar but is a dynamic story where every person is an active participant. In this year’s opening event\, CCHM is excited to sit down with beloved local author and historian\, Pat Jollota\, to discuss her life and work. \nPat Jollota moved to Vancouver after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department. A lover of history\, Jollota has since devoted her life to unearthing and preserving our community’s stories while continuing her passion for civic engagement and advocacy. In addition to serving at the Clark County Historical Museum for 22 years. She served on the Vancouver City Council for 20 years\, helped establish the Children’s Justice Center\, and served on countless civic organizations. 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. Tickets can be purchased at the Kiggins Theatre Box Office or online at kigginstheatre.com/movies/history-on-tap. \nThe 2022 History on Tap season is brought to you by Business Over Beer. Special thanks to our sponsors Vancouver’s Downtown Association and Mickler & Associates. Program support provided by Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio).

SUMMARY:From Pacific Shores to Columbia River Banks: Historical Traces of the Chinese Community in Vancouver\, Washington
DESCRIPTION:Join Music Fusian NW and CCHM as they welcome Dr. Xiuyu Wang for “From pacific Shores to Columbia River banks: Historical Traces of the Chinese Community in Vancouver\, Washington” during this month’s Speaker Series. \nSince the late 19th century\, Chinese immigrants to Vancouver and the Clark County in Washington have contributed to community life in various ways\, creating a legacy that has remained poignant but also sparsely documented and imperfectly known. While different immigration journeys to Vancouver reflected broader shifts in national immigration policies and international relations\, the immigrants themselves often had to rely on personal initiative and family resources in settling into business\, labor\, industry\, service\, education and other sectors. No two stories were exactly alike in this process of community adaptation and growth\, but all reflected some form of fusion between Asian and American lifeways. \nThis presentation offers glimpses of individual stories in their regional and international contexts based on materials from the Clark County Historical Museum and other sources. In recognition that many more facets of this history remain scattered in the community\, this presentation is intended both as a catalyst and an invitation for more community-driven discussions and connections around this local heritage going forward. \nAbout the Presenter \nXiuyu Wang is Associate Professor of History at Washington State University\, where he teaches courses on China and East Asia. His early life and education in Shandong Province coincided with China’s first two decades of reform. After immigrating to the US in the 1990s\, he pursued studies in intercultural communication and journalism before earning a doctorate in modern Chinese history at Carnegie Mellon. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on China’s late imperial and modern ethnic history\, with publications on state-local relations in its southwestern region\, including his book China’s Last Imperial Frontier: Late Qing Expansion in Sichuan’s Tibetan Borderlands. He lives with his family in Vancouver\, Washington. \nMusic Fusian NW is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Vancouver WA. It aims to use music to empower students\, inspire creativity and collaboration\, increase cultural awareness and build bridges between cultures. Music Fusian NW is excited to partner with the Clark County Historical Museum and Dr. Xiuyu Wang to present the stories and legacy of the Chinese immigrants in Clark County. \nFunding for the evening’s event comes in part from Humanities Washington. The CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and Versa Events (formerly Wager Audio). General admission is $5; seniors and students are $4; children under 18 are $3; and the evening is free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.
