SUMMARY:Presentation: Weird\, Wonderful\, and Worrisome Objects in Washingt
 on State's Museums
DESCRIPTION:The Jefferson County Historical Society is thrilled to host thi
 s Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau presentation by Harriet Baskas: "W
 eird\, Wonderful\, and Worrisome Objects in Washington State's Museums." S
 aturday\, October 18th from 7pm to 8:30pm Northwest Maritime Center (Olive
 r & Morris Room) This program is pay-as-you wish. Donations are appreciate
 d in order to cover overhead for this event; however\, all are welcome to 
 attend for free. Pre-registration recommended. ABOUT THE TALK: Most museum
 s display no more than 10 percent of their holdings\, often citing “not 
 enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural
 \, philosophical\, political\, environmental\, historic\, and even superst
 itious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view. In this tal
 k\, author and journalist Harriet Baskas explores a wide range of hidden o
 bjects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the coun
 try. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s tou
 pées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle. When 
 possible\, Baskas invites local museum curators to answer questions\, part
 icipate in discussions\, and unbox a few hidden treasures. For this event\
 , the JCHS research team will be on hand to discuss some weird\, wonderful
 \, and/or worrisome objects from the JCHS collections. More info + event r
 egistration here. Questions about this event or other JCHS programs? Email
