WE ARE HAPPY TO POST THIS VIDEO HOLIDAY CARD produced by Society president Warner Blake for our once and future members.
And Membership Chair, Gary Ferguson, led the full house of attendees in a once every 150 year toast to the future of Snohomish!
I couldn’t help wonder while turning the thick pages of the recently acquired Edith Blackman Album — what would have happened to this priceless treasure of local history if our Society and its archives did not exist?
A picturesque fog slowly lifted like stage smoke just before the start of the Society’s first annual tour of the GAR Cemetery. As the couple dozen participants toured from one historic marker to the the next the sun broke through creating dramatic fall shadows to complete the perfect setting.
A guided tour of the GAR Cemetery on Saturday, October 24th, 10 to 11:30 am, includes the story of the why there are two graves for Clifford Blackman. Warner Blake, author of “Early Snohomish,” will lead the tour that features the tombstones of Snohomish’s earliest settlers.
Joan Curtis, historian and author of “Town on the Sound” the history of Steilacoom, traveled to Snohomish on Sunday to participate in the discussion and exhibition titled, “E. C. Ferguson in Steilacoom, 1858-59.”
Steilacoom is where ‘old Ferg’ built the cottage that was shipped up river, reassembled, and is still in use!
