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.

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.
