Clark County Historical Museum to celebrate women’s history

The Clark County Historical Museum will present its newest exhibit, “(Her)Story: Founders, Leaders & Visionaries,” with a virtual opening reception on Facebook Live from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. As part of the reception, CCHM is holding an online auction to raise funds to support the exhibit and future programming.

In celebration of women’s history and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, “(Her)Story: Founders, Leaders, & Visionaries” explores the significant impact women have made on Clark County history. Women have long played a major role in the building and growth of Clark County and Southwest Washington. Today, many women in all facets of our community carry this legacy forward. “(Her)Story” showcases the history of women as change agents through a series of interpretative panels, recorded interviews, and an online companion virtual exhibit. The exhibit caps off a year-long celebration of Women’s History at the museum.
