Thanks again to all of you who came out for the last (and, hopefully final) Scotch broom pull here on the Preserve in March. It is wonderful to see the shoreline area free of broom...and we encourage you all to check out the hearty patch of Oregon fawn lily (Erythronium oregonum) that is now visible down by the shoreline. Last we checked it was just sending up flowering stalks. Folks on Waldron tend to call it "Easter lily" because it usually blooms around Easter, and that may hold true for this year too. We want to send out a special thanks to Cy Field (& family) for putting in the extra time to remove this pesky invasive!!

South Pierce County Historical Society
Eatonville, Washington

History, Historical Society

The South Pierce County Historical Society is a non-profit public charity in Washington State, working to preserve and promote local history in the south Pierce County area. Our group is very small, and seeks financial support from individuals and businesses interested in the rich history of the greater Eatonville area, and keeping it alive, especially in the young. We have one structure - the Van Eaton Cabin, the first home in Eatonville, built in 1889. We call it the Stage Stop Museum, as it was a stage line stop along the Indian Henry Trail from Commencement Bay to the base of Mount Rainier. It was also a trading post, post office, store and family home.

The Whole Story Is The Meanin

“For the fiction writer himself the whole story is the meaning, because it is an experience, not an abstraction.”― Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Pros

Join us in Milledgeville, Georgia, for the annual Georgia Association of Museums conference as we explore the profound wisdom of Milledgeville author Flannery O'Connor’s words. In a world where narratives intersect and perspectives diverge, this theme invites proposals that delve into the essence of storytelling within museums and cultural institutions. Our work in the museum field requires us to look at stories from as many angles and perspectives as possible so that we might do our best to tell the “whole story.

Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive workshops, and engaging presentations, we will uncover the layers of meaning embedded within every artifact, exhibition, and historical account. Just as O’Connor masterfully crafted narratives that resonate with universal truths, museums hold the power to illuminate the whole story behind many objects, artworks, and cultural phenomena

We will examine how museums can embrace inclusivity, diversity, and authenticity in their storytelling practices. By acknowledging multiple perspectives and amplifying marginalized voices, we can enrich our understanding of the past and present, fostering empathy and connection within our communities.

Virginia Association of Museum's 2025 Annual Conference!

The Inn at Virginia Tech

Blacksburg, Virginia

Hosted by: Virginia Association of Museums

2025 Conference Theme: Looking Back to the Future For the past several years, many museums have been deeply involved in planning programs and events to observe the 250th birthday of the United States of America. While this is certainly an occasion to celebrate, this anniversary also forces us as a society to reckon with ongoing inequities and challenges within the US that go back to its inception. As museums ask their audiences to look to the past to understand the present and shape a better future, perhaps now is a good moment in time for Virginia’s museum community to take pause and look back at its own history. We are excited to see you in Blacksburg in March 2025 as we take a moment in our hectic schedules to take pause and visit our diverse pasts. Let’s uncover and share our histories to build a more resilient Virginia museum community.
