Scholarly Selections:  Ferrying Food – The Story of the Cowlitz Farm @ Washington State History Museum

The Cowlitz Farm kept the Hudson’s Bay Company supplied with grain and pork from the 1830s-1850s, employing the latest technology to become one of the first corporate farms in the United States. UW Tacoma History B.A. Josiah Pollock will present his award-winning research about the Cowlitz Farm.

Third Thursdays offer free admission from 3:00-8:00 PM. See the exhibits and hear this free Scholarly Selections lecture too!
