Getting a sneak peek at 1889 WA exhibit

October 15, 2014

Our office's next great historical exhibit, Washington 1889: Blazes, Rails & the Year of Statehood, should be ready for the public to see on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Secretary Wyman enjoyed a sneak peak of the exhibit panels. She and our office's Legacy Washington staff joined Washington State Historical Society Executive Director Jennifer Kilmer (second from right in the photo below) in checking out the panels shortly after they arrived. The exhibit's official opening is Nov. 11 at 4 p.m., following festivities in the Capitol celebrating Washington's 125th anniversary of statehood.
