The Importance of Books, By Wendy Spencer, Vice President
3/4/2010
Lately I have been reading books voraciously on all sorts of topics, fiction as well as non-fiction. It is amazing the vast amount of knowledge that is written down and contained within pages of books! Recently I spent hours at a book store pouring over thousands of books . One thing I realized as I looked over these books was the fact that I would not be able to read and absorb even a fraction of all the knowledge contained within those four walls. I am naturally very curious about everything and anything. |

The Collector, By Gary A. Anderson, Interpretive Specialist
2/4/2010
When I began working for the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center 10 years ago, I knew about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but to tell you the truth I really hadn’t paid a whole lot of attention to it. Other than my two or three days given to it during my high school days, it was just another part of my regular education. However, once I took the job as interpreter, I couldn’t get enough information concerning the expedition. So my collecting days began.

At this writing, we are hosting Sonja Schierle from the Linden Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, who is here to retrieve the Prince Maximilian artifacts that have been on loan to us this past year. In the 14 months that that this exhibit has been shown, along with the Karl Bodmer display, over 25,000 visitors from all 50 states and dozens of countries have come to the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, right here in Washburn, to view them! |
