Historical Soc. enjoys trip to WA.
Ruth Locust Chapt.No. 32 to meet
By Delpha Jones
The Morrow County Historical
Society sponsors a trip each year, the
first weekend in May. This year the
group of 29 visited the Chehalis-
Centralia area. They left lone at 7:15
a m. on Friday, enroute to the twin
cities. A coffee stop was enjoyed at
a rest area near Hood River, then in
Washington. They visited the Klager
Lilac Gardens at Woodland, Wa.
There were many different types of
flowering shrubs and trees, with 37
different kinds of lilacs. While there
Pat Majeske Wright, discovered a
Lilac with the name of Majeske, and
others enjoyed many kinds and col
ors they had never seen.
The group traveled on to Chehalis
where they had motel reservations.
They were met by Mr. Bunker of the
Historical Society, who escorted the
group to places of interest.
On Friday they visited a log cabin,
a former courthouse and the historic
Claquato Church. This building was
built in 1885. It is the oldest Protes
tant church in the Pacific Northwest
still standing in its original structural
form. Because of needed repairs the
church is not open to the public at
the present time. It has a belfry con
sisting of a louvered square mounted
by a symbolic crown of thorns, the
origin is not known.
The group was surprised when
upon returning to the motel, they
were greeted by Harriet and Bill
Busby of Seattle. Harriet is the
former Harriet Heliker. They join
ed the group for dinner that evening
and breakfast the next morning.
On Saturday the group really had
an enjoyable day, with a trip to a
museum, where another member of
the group, Lorraine Ladd, found a
beautiful Ladd Piano, which had
been brought by early ship to the
area. Mary Wright found a comer
and street with her name on These
names added to the fun of the trip.
The group was entertained by a
gentleman who played music of the
‘20’s and ‘30’s.
The group visited the Mossy Rock
at the tulip gardens, many of which
still in bloom, and a nursery, where
there were hundreds of outstanding
fuschias and begonia hanging
baskets. The group was then taken
to the surprise planned by the
MCHS-Wolthaven. Here they were
introduced to several species of
wolves, from northern Canada to the
plains of the US. The group then sat
around a huge bonfire, and heard
two wolf stories and were able to
hear all 37 of the wolves howl. Un
fortunately the weather had gotten
cold and it was sprinkling rain, so
the travelers could not remain for the
evening. Here Pat Wright had the
misfortune to sprain her leg and had
to stay off her leg for the remainder
of the trip home. On Sunday they
visited the Mt. St. Helens center and
went on home to Portland to the ex
po center at the Antique and Collec
tor’s show. Then it was home to
Morrow County.
“ This is a yearly trip and we will
be planning a trip next year, and
hope that many of you will keep
this date in mind and join us again.
If you’ve never gone, join us for the
first tim e ,”
said a club
spokesperson.
