THE ISSUES FACING <br />W C H S TODAY <br />While WCHS's house and school museums <br />provide excellent interpretation of pioneer <br />and Victorian life, early schooling, and even <br />life behind bars, these facilities do not <br />have space to adequately highlight other <br />parts of Washington County, its business <br />and agricultural history, and events that <br />occurred before and after the mid- to late <br />nineteenth century. The interpretive sites <br />can not tell the stories of Native American <br />populations, railroads, logging, agriculture, <br />women's suffrage, or prohibition in the <br />County, all of which have had colorful and <br />important roles in the area. <br />Most of the artifacts and records collected by WCHS <br />are stored at the Warden's House Museum and <br />Carriage House but most are not available for display <br />and are not properly stored for conservation. Some of <br />the issues are: <br />Currently, the Washington County Historical Society is the only organization <br />that is collecting the history of Washington County and preserving its stories. <br />In the near future, our present facilities will run out of space, which will <br />severely affect our ability to collect, preserve, and exhibit the County's <br />historical artifacts and records. In addition, there is no centralized location <br />to create exhibits to showcase the history of this area or to bring in <br />traveling exhibits that will complement our collection. <br />�k� <br />
