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.

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.”
Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. This is the first in a series of three events.
The public is invited to join local historians and students from the Evergreen State College as they share selections from oral histories collected by and from Harbor residents. Participants will learn about the craft of composing oral histories as they listen to stories about the Harbor Region from the perspective of local residents.
Giving Voice to Experience is the first of three events planned for the Voices of the Harbor project – produced through a collaboration between the Evergreen State College and Window Seat Media; with support from Humanities Washington.
Historian Lorraine McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, guests may participate in a scripted “Readers’ Theater,” designed to portray the turmoil of the years 1914 – 1919. The script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries and news paper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation, and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil.
Join us as we salute Arnold Samuels, a local legend, and meet his biographer, John C. Hughes, chief historian for the Office of the Secretary of State.
Samuels’ remarkable Army service during WWII found him serving in Counter Intelligence Corps, helping liberate the horrific concentration camp at Dachau and working with another young Jewish G.I., Henry Kissinger. Arnold Samuels is also the only person ever elected to the Ocean Shores City Council as a write-in.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own a signed copy of Washington Remembers WWII! Be there for this extraordinary presentation!
