Time is now running short to take in two exhibits at the Clark County Historical Museum and to take advantage of some discounts. The museum’s “Boomer!” exhibit, which opened in June 2008, wraps up Dec. 31. The exhibit explores the baby boom generation nationally and in Clark County. It explores the fashion, toys, cars and music of that generation.
Also on display through Dec. 31 is “Catharine Paine Blaine: Seneca Falls and the Women’s Rights Movement in the State of Washington.” The exhibit celebrates the 2010 Washington Women’s Suffrage Centennial through an exploration of the effect of settlers’ reform ideas on the development of women’s rights in Washington.
The museum is also offering discounts to celebrate a pair of milestones. Visitors who are 100 years old or 45 years old receive free admission with proof of age through the end of the year. The museum’s building, a former Carnegie Library, turns 100 this year. In addition, 45-year-olds receive free admission because the museum is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Where: 1511 Main St., Vancouver.
Admission: $4; $3 for seniors and college students with identification; $2 for children 6 to 18; free for children 5 and younger. Free admission for visitors who are 100 years old or 45 years old, with proof of age, throughout 2009.
