“Mapping Orcas: The Way Home” with Orcas Island Historical Museum’s Nancy Stillger
Wednesday March 23 at 1 p.m. via Zoom
||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
How did early explorers find their way to Orcas Island before they even knew what was there to be found? The Orcas Island Historical Museum’s exhibition, “Mapping Orcas: The Way Home,” features an extraordinary collection of early maps that helped lead people to Orcas Island.
Most featured maps were assembled, restored, and reproduced by photographer Peter C. Fisher of Orcas Island or hand drawn by the late Jean Putnam. Executive Director, Nancy Stillger, will guide you in a virtual presentation of this exhibition direct from the museum.
Nancy has almost 30 years of nonprofit experience in arts, history, and cultural organizations throughout the west coast and has been the Executive Director of Orcas Island Historical Museum since Spring 2020.
Please join this unique virtual event Wednesday, March 23 at 1pm. To participate, go to Orcas Senior Center’s Calendar of Events page at orcasseniors.org. To help us continue to offer great programs like this one, your generous donation is always appreciated.
