Working in Cowlitz County |

February through November 2010:
How have the people of Cowlitz county made their living over the past 150 years,
and how is that changing? Explore
the intriguing answer in the Museum's newest exhibit.
Topics addressed will include the first primary occupation of
agriculture, the many years when timber was king, post World War II
manufacturing and the shift to a service-based work force.
Featured in the exhibit is a circa 1930 video of timber harvesting
in Cowlitz County and working in Long Bell's lumber mill as well as
a variety of interesting photos and artifacts.
What will the future of work in
Cowlitz
County be?
