History town hall Monday in Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD — The city of Ridgefield and the Clark County Historical Museum will team up Monday for a history town hall.

The free session begins at 6 p.m. at A Pickled Heron Gallery and Ballroom, 418 Pioneer St. It will be the first in a series of countywide town hall conversations about each community’s history and heritage.

It will start with a panel discussion. Community historians will delve into the historical people, places, or moments they feel embody the spirit of Ridgefield history. A question-and-answer session with the audience will follow.

The community historians and residents of Ridgefield will examine the city’s place in Clark County history and, along the way, tell stories about their history and home.

Over the next few years, the museum at 1511 Main St., Vancouver, will install a permanent exhibition telling the overall story of Clark County’s history. These town halls, held in the different Clark County communities, will act as an inspiration for each community’s representation in this story. Each evening will be recorded and reviewed by those working on the exhibition.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. For information, contact the museum at info@cchmuseum.org or call 360-993-5679.
