North Clark Historical Museum will be the site of a celebration of the 110+1 Anniversary of the United Brethren Church building on Sept. 25, 2021 with an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be tours, exhibits, a short program at 2 p.m., outdoor activities (weather permitting), and pie and ice cream. Masks will be required inside the building.
The church was built in 1910 by Emanuel Jensen, a carpenter from View, Washington. Pastor Dora Young walked from View to Amboy to start a Sunday School and decided the town needed a church. She contacted Emanuel and the rest is history. After being renovated to become the present day Museum, the United Brethren Church building was put on the Clark County Heritage Register in 1996, the Washington Heritage Register of Historic Places on Oct. 17, 2008, and the National Register of Historic Places on Dec. 4, 2008.
Quilt Raffle tickets will be available for “Prairie Sampler,” a beautiful quilt made by the Chelatchie Quilters. This is our annual fundraiser to benefit the Museum. A reprint of the mid-century UB Ladies Aide Cookbook will also be available to purchase. The recipes are from local residents and include several poems written by Anna Rosencrans.
The Museum will be open on Sat., Sept. 11 from noon to 4 p.m. and on Sat., Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The address is 21416 NE 399th St., Amboy, WA. The museum is wheelchair accessible and has air conditioning. Admission is free. Donations are welcome.
