Holiday Mansion Spectacular @ Aberdeen Mansion
Dec 15 @ 6:00 pm

One way to re-visit what Aberdeen might have been like during the Holidays on the 1900’s is to enjoy a tour of a local Victorian Mansion. Feel the warmth of the twinkling lights that adorn the outside of the three-story mansion, accompanied by several beautifully decorated Christmas trees and decorations filling every corner of the home. Tours offered December 15, 22 and 29 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.

Owners Al and Joan Waters welcome guests in Victorian themed costumes to set the stage while leading the tours of the classic manor. The finale to the tour is hot spiced cider and cookies in the formal dining area full of local history.

1968: The Year That Rocked Washington exhibit opening @ State Reception Room, Washington State Capitol | Olympia | Washington | United States

In 1968, Vietnam, civil rights, women’s liberation, and conservation coalesced—and tragedy led the 6 o’clock news. It changed us in ways still rippling a half-century later. 1968: The Year That Rocked Washington features a collection of online stories and an exhibit at the Washington State Capitol with profiles, compelling photos, and artifacts that document the activism and aftershocks of a landmark year in world history.
