Technology meets history! The Cashmere Museum has installed a unique kiosk that traces the development of Cashmere businesses from the town’s beginning. It will show the year the building was built, its location, ownership and occupants through the years, using pictures and newspaper clippings. WAGS will be a special guest of the museum, and one of the first groups to get a custom demo of this modern-day “time machine.”

Monday, September 13, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village, 600 Cotlets Way, Cashmere. Zoom Link:

We have not scheduled a program with the State Archives in Ellensburg in five years. It’s time we had an update! Brigid Clift, the Regional Branch Archivist, will share her screen and reacquaint us with the archives and digital archives. You’ll want to hear about the work they are doing with Ancestry. Brigid will be looking forward to answering your questions about their research hours and their volunteer-from-home program.

The best part about this meeting is that it will be hybrid! Those who are comfortable with in-person can join us at the Douglas PUD Auditorium, just like old times. And if you’d rather keep on Zooming, you can be present that way as well. (We will post the Zoom information as the meeting gets closer.)

See you on Monday, August 9, at 2:00 p.m.–at the Douglas PUD Auditorium or via Zoom!
