Crosby Store Ledger takes it all in this month's State Archives Poll
Image
This month’s Archives Treasure goes to the Crosby Store ledger from 1859, with honorable mentions for the picture of the 1990 “Steel Magnolias” photo and an 1857 map of Western Washington Territory.
The ledger details the day-to-day transactions of the Crosby Store in Tumwater back in territorial days. The store was located on Reserve Street (now Deschutes Way). It was a general-merchandise emporium and important Tumwater fixture, operated by a settler named Nathaniel Crosby III.
The ledger was the last of the three March Archives Treasures, which showcases many of the rare and interesting items and collections found in our State Archives.
