PENDLETON — In line with their mis-
sion to keep history alive, the Heritage
Station Museum’s annual Pioneer Day is
an event that allows us to look toward the
past to appreciate the present.
This year’s event will take place Sat-
urday, Aug. 20, from noon to 3 p.m. at the
museum, 108 SW Frazer Ave.
Pioneer Day will be packed full of activ-
ities and demonstrations by local artisans
who continue to practice the skills of the
pioneers.
Visitors will see gold panning, herbal
sachets, clothes washing, quilting, mak-
ing beeswax candles and much more.
Along with this will be a pioneer photo
spot to capture this day of fun and learn-
ing.
“The goal is to teach visitors about the
processes and origins of things we often
take for granted, such as how easy it is to
toss clothes in a machine to wash them
rather than to use a washboard and ba-
sin,” said Shannon Gruenhagen, Heritage
Station marketing and tour coordinator.

year’s Pioneer Day on Aug. 20, 2022.
Gruenhagen said Pioneer Day will
include an artisan’s market that will be a
great opportunity to highlight local craft-
ers, artisans and small businesses.
“We also hope that artisans can share
their methods and how they are keeping
their skills alive,” she said. “We are always
looking for people who have skills they
would like to demonstrate.”
Vendors who are interested in partic-
ipating in the artisan market can call to
