If you have the time in the next month, visit the
Snoqualmie Depot to view the new exhibit: Railroads Built the Pacific
Northwest. The exhibit is a free-standing display of 4 double-sided
interlocking panels highlighting early passenger and freight service in the
PNW.
The exhibit was designed by the Webb Group and
fabricated by Artcraft Display Graphics Inc. Deputy Director Jessie Cunningham curated
the exhibit, which included content development and image selection. Images
came from either the Museum’s collection or were purchased from other local
sources including Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum and UW Special Collections. The companion webpage will be available on the Museum’s website within the next week.

The display is the Phase 2 exhibit for the Train Shed
Exhibit Building. Unfortunately the fabrication wasn’t completed in time to
install the exhibit in the Train Shed before tours wrapped up for the 2014
regular season. The Museum wanted to make the exhibit accessible to the public
immediately, so it has been installed temporarily in the Depot freight room.
You can come and view the exhibit for the next month during open hours (10am –
5pm, Monday thru Sunday). The exhibit will be stored during Santa Train but may
be in the freight room over the winter. It will be installed in the Train Shed
next spring along with the Phase 1 exhibit. Tour Package program participants
will have more to see and experience in 2015!
