The North Clark Historical Museum, in upper Amboy, will honor the men who came to the region before the 1900s to develop Amboy, Chelatchie Prairie, Yacolt, and more
The North Clark Historical Museum is holding an Early Pioneer Men Exhibit on Saturday, highlighting the men who arrived before 1900 and formed Amboy, Chelatchie Prairie, Yacolt, and surrounding areas.
Amos Ball, John Frasier, Charles Frasier, Hein Kulper, C.C. Landon, Chester Moore, Charles Moore, and Edgar Rotschy were instrumental in the development of the region. Today, their descendents live on to carry on their heritage.
The museum will be open Saturday, Sept. 27, from noon to 4 p.m. A special presentation on the early pioneers will begin at 2 p.m.
There will also be blacksmith demonstrations by Ben Brown from noon to 4 p.m., as well as antique engine displays by Bud Cronin from noon to 4 p.m.
There is no admission fee to visit the museum, located in upper Amboy at 21416 NE 399th Street in the renovated 1910 United Brethren Church. Donations are appreciated.
There is also a raffle for a quilt crafted by the Chelatchie Quilters. Proceeds will go to the capital improvement fund for major upkeep and repairs to the building.
The museum was incorporated in 1988 and opened to the public in 2000. The museum’s mission is to preserve North Clark County’s natural and cultural history through collections and exhibits, and to sponsor educational programs and research opportunities for the enrichment of the public.
