Summer is finally here, really!

Ahhh, the heat of the sun is incredible!  Riding around town and going down to the park to catch a glimpse of the eagle at sunset; Independence is the place to be. While you’re out and about discovering new things in our historic town; stop at Third and B streets and visit your local history museum.

On August 29th, we will be hosting our annual BBQ. This event is usually exclusive to current members but we’d like to extend an invitation to any of our past museum visitors. The museum provides the main barbeque items and beverages, attendees bring a potluck dish such as veggies, fruits, salads, bread, a dessert or whatever you like! You will get a grand tour of the museum, hear what we’ve been doing over the last year, and become a supporting member while you’re at it. You must RSVP to 503-838-4989 before August 15th.

Here’s a history quote I found: Professor Johnston often said that if you didn’t know history, you didn’t know anything.  You were a leaf that didn’t know it was part of a tree.  ~Michael Crichton, Timeline
