Heritage museum opens special exhibition See donated gifts to the collection in ‘Pieces of the Puzzle’ ILWACO, Wash. — Each item in the Columbia Paci¿c Heritage Museum’s collection, down to the last piece of paper, has been donated to the museum by members of the community. The special exhibition “Pieces of the Puzzle: Re- cent Gifts to Collections” is a sampler of the generous gifts given to the Colum- bia Pacific Heritage Mu- seum over the past several years. The exhibition in- cludes over 300 items rang- ing from photographs and books to uniforms, T-shirts, and paintings and ceramics created by important local artists. These donations are im- portant to the museum. The primary function of a muse- um is to collect, preserve, re- search, exhibit and interpret the heritage of its collection. In achieving these objectives, the Columbia Paci¿c Heritage Museum holds each item in its collection as evidence of the stories of the Columbia-Pacif- ic region. When an object is donat- ed, its story often connects it to other stories, ¿lling gaps, building bridges and connect- ing pieces of an overall puzzle of this region’s heritage. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Fri- day, July 31. The Columbia Paci¿c Heri- tage Museum is located at 115 S.E. Lake St. Submitted photo courtesy of Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum Submitted photo courtesy of Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum Before it was called the Long Beach Peninsula, the narrow finger of land jutting north of the mouth of the Columbia River was called North Beach.
