Log House Museum

Thank you for joining us for Fourth of July Storytime over the weekend! Your collages inspired and your singing voices rang (who could let wily, rhyming Fox sing alone?)
There’s nothing like the power of stories to bring us together. Special thank you to our storyteller Eva Abram!

The national meets the local.
Join us today at the Log House Museum. We’ll be designing our own flags through collage, with multiple crafty activities available from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm!
Don’t miss children’s storyteller Eva Abram, who will be hosting a storytime between 11:00 – 11:45 am… and don't forget your complimentary cup of cool lemonade!

The unveiling of the Statue of Liberty monument on Alki Beach in 1952. The colorful history of this statue (literally! Did you know it was once painted pink?) ultimately landed it in the collections of the Log House Museum. A new pedestal and statue replica was installed on Alki in 2007. To learn more about this saga, join the next Alki History Walking tour (link in bio or here: https://loghousemuseum.org/blog/alki-history-walking-tours-26/)

“Goddess of the Stars” -- Kesia Gonzalez (Stars) is a Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist whose work explores symbolism, archetypes, and perception. Drawing inspiration from ancient Egyptian imagery, her art reflects themes of insight, awareness, and inner reflection of being seen and being met. Through painting, fashion, and healing-inspired expression, Gonzalez views art as an expression of thought and feeling, inviting viewers to pause and engage with the work on a deeper, reflective level. Find her work at goddessofthestars.my.canva.site or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/goddessofthestars_mm/

A big thank you to all our National Day of Service supporters! You’re helping to keep Riverside’s history alive. In 2012, SWSHS helped install this plaque dedicated to the neighborhood’s early Croatian immigrant residents, and we’ve been maintaining it ever since.
We’re grateful to have worked with A Cleaner Alki for this program. It’s been a wonderful experience developing our partnership!
