Kerbyville Museum ‘Heritage Day’
On Thursday, March 11,
the Kerbyville Museum spon-
sored the third annual
“Heritage Day” for fourth-
grade students from Ever-
green Elementary School of
Cave Junction.
Approximately 75 fourth
graders, around 12 parents,
three teachers plus Evergreen
Principal David Valenzuela
participated in this day-long
event.
Museum volunteers,
along with members of the
Sourdough Chapter, Back-
country Horsemen’s Club,
welcomed the students and
adults to a variety of history-
related programs. Addition-
ally, members of the Illinois
River Valley Arts Council
assisted with an arts project.
“This program was
funded by a grant from Trust
Management Services of
Waldport, Ore., as well as a
small amount from the 21st
Century Grant through Three
Rivers School District,” said
Dennis Strayer, museum
board president.
Also, local miners Steve
Bethke, Mike Milner and
Zack Gray helped educate the
students on gold panning.
They explained how histori-
cally important to Illinois
Valley was the discovery of
gold in the valley in 1851.
The partially restored
William & Nannie Naucke
Historic House was utilized
to educate students through
hands-on programs. They
were shown how clothing
was washed in pioneer days
using wash boards and wash
tubs, as well as a separate
program on butter-making
using old style butter churns.
Thomas Doty presented a
Native American program in
the Native American Pit
House.
