"Moving the Mail" Exhibit
with North Olympic History Center
Saturday, September 26
All day
Visit during library hours through October 17 to explore the local postal history exhibition.
Did you know that there have been at least 70 post offices in Clallam County?
In remote communities across the Peninsula, mail delivery was often the only link with the outside world. As populations shifted and new technologies developed, the speed and method of mail delivery changed, from the coastal deliveries of the Mosquito fleet and Tribal canoes to wagon roads and eventually rail and air.
Learn all about these fascinating stories in the "Moving the Mail" traveling exhibit!
Exhibit Schedule: August 28-October 17
The exhibit is on view at the Port Angeles Main Library through Saturday, October 17. Drop in during library open hours.
This exhibit was created with the support of a Clallam County Heritage Advisory Board grant.
The North Olympic History Center (NOHC) connects the future to the past, through the present. Since 1948, the North Olympic History Center, formerly the Clallam County Historical Society, has been dedicated to keeping the history of the North Olympic Peninsula alive. The NOHC manages a research library, an artifact collection, and an education program. Learn more at northolympichistory.org and browse the online collections database.
Art in the Library is generously funded in part by the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.
