“Mapping Orcas: The Way Home” with Orcas Island Historical Museum’s Nancy Stillger: Tuesday November 16 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 new exhibition “Mapping Orcas: The Way Home” features an extraordinary collection of early maps that helped lead the way.
Nancy Stillger, Executive Director, will guide you in a live virtual tour and presentation of this exhibition direct from the museum. The exhibit features an extraordinary collection of maps, most of which were assembled, restored, and reproduced by photographer Peter C. Fisher of Orcas Island. Also featured in the museum are exquisite, hand drawn, original maps by the late Jean Putnam.
Nancy Stillger 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.
