Place: Walther Gallery (Gallery A)
Date From: 11/19/2004
Date To: 8/1/2008
Summary: A long-term exhibit with periodic artifact changes. Over a century of Spokane history translates into a three-dimensional tapestry of personal stories. Museum collection treasures tell of family, community, and business adventures from fur trade and fire, through aviation and ticker tape. Names like James Glover are familiar; others are little-known but important for their contribution to Spokane life.
