A New Washington Rural Heritage Collection: Enumclaw
Enumclaw Heritage is live! The Enumclaw Public Library teamed with the Enumclaw Plateau Historical Museum to bring us incredible photos, documents and mem
orabilia of the area.
Check out a homemade photo album documenting the Boise Creek flood of 1965; read the first issues of Enumclaw High School's newspaper, published in 1919; and see photographs of White River Lumber Company's (later,
Weyerhaeuser's) locomotives.
We're also excited to bring you Washington Rural Heritage's first collection of oral histories. Listen to tales of early 20th-century life in this rural dairy community: a man recalling how the "federal people" would break up area stills during Prohibition; a telephone operator remembering dances that lasted until dawn; and fascinating stories of settler interactions with local Native tribes.
To access the oral history, click on the audio files at the bottom of the list of links on the left. These will be named "tape1_side1," etc. Then click the link to "access this item." If you'd like to read the accompanying text, click through the pages listed on the left side. You can also search these objects by typing words or phrases in the search box in the top left corner.
