We will be closing the museum for the month of DECEMBER and JANUARY to get the museum set of for the dairy display. Our next meeting is January 3rd. We wish you all a Merry Christmas, and remember to get your dues in.

If you have not been by the museum, do do, and you will notice that we have a fresh coat of paint on the building, a new fence on the lake side, and back, and thanks to the Eagle Scouts and Colf's for their help.

One thing we need, once we open back up, is volunteers. We want to open up on Staurdays 12:00-4:00 with 2 people here. Please send us a email of days you want to volunteer so we can get a list going.

Please remember that your membership is what helps to keep this place going, so please rejoin for 2013.

Clyde and Millie Schurman

Clyde and Millie Schurman lived next to their Machine Shop on Lewis River Road (503) at Woodland, Washington. Over the years Clyde collected thousands of things including cars, steam engines, tractors, tractor seats, farm equipment and on and on. He even bought a steam locomotive and had a short track for it to run on in their back yard. Click here for more info and pictures.

Schurman Steam-Up

Members of the Woodland Historical Museum Society were invited to the Schurman Steam-up on October 7, 2006. This is an event at which several friends and relatives of Clyde Schurmen got together at his place and steamed up the locomotive and other steam engines. It was great fun and we learned a lot. Nancy was even able to run the locomotive. What a thrill. Click here for more pictures.
