AMBOY – North Clark Historical Museum will present an exhibit featuring Mt. St. Helens before, during, and after the major eruption May 18, 1980 — 41 years ago.
It’s obviously difficult for Clark County residents to forget the lives lost and devastation created in just a few minutes. Many wondered if nature would be able to rebuild the beauty they once enjoyed. Spirit Lake was a place for camping and boating but is now a place for scientific study. Giant trees were mowed down, but new trees replaced them. The perfect cone top is gone, but Mt. St. Helens remains a majestic reminder of the continuing cycle of life.
The museum will be open Sat., May 8 and Sat., May 22 from noon to 4 p.m. The address is 21416 NE 399th St., Amboy. Area residents are invited to plan a visit to North Clark County and view the exhibits at the museum, including photos and information on Spirit Lake and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
