Wehn Exhibit  (Open Houses)
1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Washington Pioneer Hall Museum
Fred Poyner IV will open a new exhibition ~ James A. Wehn: Master of Portraits in Sculpture.  This new display at Pioneer Hall offers 10 small to medium-sized artifacts and artworks by the Seattle sculptor James A. Wehn (1882-1973).
 
The focus of the display showcases Wehn’s decades-long career as a talented local portraitist in sculpture (busts; portrait heads; medallions; plaque reliefs), his visits to local Native American communities for research of modeling ideas; and the breadth of his figurative subjects, ranging from the young and old, to women, men, and people of different races. The display features the current bust of Henry Yesler in the Pioneer collection.

On March 2nd, 1853, Washington Territory separated from Oregon Territory.  The lower Columbia River plus the 46th parallel were established as Washington's southern boundary (the 49th parallel had already been designated USA's boundary with mainland Canada, running westward from mid-Minnesota to Point Roberts).  Ten years later, on March 4th 1863, the Snake River plus the 117th meridian became Washington's eastern boundary.

We honor our US Veterans. 
November 11th is also significant to the Pioneer Association --- it was the day in 1889 that Washington State was admitted to the United States.  Shown here is one of two 42-star US flags that we hold in our Pioneer Hall collection.  These flags were discontinued by July 3, 1890 when Idaho became the 43rd state.  We are proud to keep them!
