Thirty-nine people boarded the
Mid-Columbia Bus trip, spon
sored by the Morrow County
Historical Society, on Friday,
May 1, for a fun three day trip
to Fort Townsend and other
points of interest. En route, lunch
was enjoyed at historic Mary
M cC rank's Restaurant in
Chehalis, WA. This establish
ment was started in 1935 in the
Dutch Mill Inn, an old road house
on what was then Highway 99.
She passed away in 1984 but left
a legacy of an AAA restaurant
and the new owners have con
tinued with the same atmosphere
and good food from many of
Mary’s recipes.
The group then motored on to
Port Townsend, enjoying the
scenery and trip on Hood Canal.
They enjoyed dinner at the Sea
Gallery, and were up and ready
on Saturday morning for a view
of the many fine homes in the
town. They had breakfast at the
Manresa Castle, built in 1892.
Charles Eisenbeis was a prussian
baker who migrated to this coun
try. At that time Port Townsend
was a great world port. He
amassed a fortune by supplying
bread and crackers to ships that
put in port there. He built the cas
tle for his young wife to resem
ble medieval castles of Europe.
In 1925 it was purchased by the
Society of Jesus who built on a
wing and used the building for a
retreat and Tertian school. It was
named after a village in Spain. It
is a bed and breakfast Inn and is
filled with beautiful and valuable
antiques. The group was enter
tained as they traveled by bus
around town by a most
knowledgeable guide.
A visit to Fort Worden was en
joyed and travelers heard how
people in the area are working to
preserve the barracks, lighthouse
and other points of interest. The
Jefferson County Courthouse was
an impressive sight made of
beautifiil brick and in the same
style as many of the area’s
homes, with round turrets, and
lovely grounds surrounding. This
building was built in 1892. Also
on the list was an Episcopal
church built in 1890 which has a
beautiful interior.
The bus motored to Sequim
where they visited an Olympic
Game Farm where they keep,
many interesting animals such as
tigers, bears, jaguars, coyotes,
bobcats, llama, guanaco bison
and other animals. A picnic lunch
was enjoyed at the John Wayne
Marina and travelers were able to
view a boat parade in the spring
like weather.
Dinner was at the 3 Crabs
restaurant, which is on the US
register of good food places to
eat. While here the group was
joined by Bill and Harriet Busby
of Seattle, WA., (the former Har
riet Heliker of lone) who spent
the evening with the group
visiting.
En route to the hotel the group
visited a farmer’s market, a quilt
show and an arts and crafts show.
Before going to the motel they
visited Reno night at a local
casino, where some enjoyed play
ing games and others the lovely
evening and scenery.
Sunday morning the group
visited the Whitney Gardens
which raise rhododendrums and
azaleas. Some of the plants wre
over 50 years old and the visit
was greatly enjoyed as people
saw some plants as high as a
house and all colors. A picnic
lunch was enjoyed at Snoqualmie
Falls. A train ride which was
about two miles long with old
fashioned cars was also enjoyed.
The route of the train has been
closed due to a land purchase.
The group enjoyed a fine dinner
again at Whistlin’ Jacks near
Ellensburg before arriving home
late and tired. The area visited
seeped with history and one that
most people would enjoy. At one
time Fort Townsend was the main
point of immigration on the west
coast with several other country
ambassadors making their home
there. The town is trying to keep
this history alive by several dif
ferent projects.
