Want to get Involved?

We need new Docents to keep the Plankhouse open on weekends and work with school groups - what a way to learn about local history and Native American customs, and share your knowledge with a new generation! Don't want to be a Docent? We need people to keep the Plankhouse in good repair and help with projects such as naturalist walks with school groups, the cedar plank floor, and outdoor activity area. We need fund raisers, event organizers, Friends of all descriptions. Meet people who are interested in the things that interest you. Learn and share our region's prehistory and history and Chinookan culture.

If you are interested in being a Docent or volunteering in other ways, email Courtney Yilk.
