The Douglas Trail was constructed in the fall of 1858. This was the first public works project on the mainland. It was initiated by Governor Douglas to ensure food and freight could be transported to the goldfields inland.
The Tea this week was well attended and well presented. When Big G (George Henry;Museum president) wore his suit to look like a teacher everyone was engaged to listen to him talk, along with Ruth Hellevang and Florence Bilenduke. Everyone was enjoying themselves so much that we went over time until 4:30! Randomly people would mention one memory and it would trigger another! So we give thanks to our speakers and guests as we had a great time this week and hope to see you next tuesday!
