Enjoy a rustic farm to table dining experience @ Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

Inspired by the spirit of fine Victorian dining, the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum invites guests to the third annual Dine We Must dinner on Friday, June 27 at 6 p.m. This stunning farm-to-table meal hosted on the museum’s lawn is a perfect night out in Tacoma’s Point Defiance as the park eases into summer.

Isabelle Beaton, an influential British author, columnist and chef in the 1800s put it best when she said, “Dine we must, and we may as well dine elegantly as well as wholesomely.”

Historic interpreters in full dress and character will welcome arriving guests to 1855 with an invitation to view the Fort’s historic buildings, enjoy appetizers and beverages, and socialize with one another. The menu for dinner features northwest cuisine prepared by Table 47, accompanied by live music from the Fort’s music guild and a surprise visit from Richard and Emma Thornhill.

Thornhill was a cook at Fort Nisqually in the 1850s and both he and Emma were known for their colorful personalities and demeanors. The evening concludes with a sampling of desserts made in the Fort’s period-accurate kitchen by our wonderfully talented volunteers.

Space is limited, so don’t wait to save your spot!

An Interactive Evening Suitable for Introverts: Creative Workshop, Live Music & Poetry @ Tacoma Armory Roosevelt Room

An evening designed to foster curiosity and creativity, “An Interactive Evening Suitable for Introverts” invites guests (introverted, extroverted, or anyone in between) to enjoy a night of music, poetry, and hands-on art—all at their own pace. Hosted by performing songwriter Allison Preisinger, this event at the Tacoma Armory’s Roosevelt Room on June 29th  is the perfect opportunity to explore your creative side in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, whether you prefer to observe or actively participate.

Inspired by the unique collaboration between poetry and music in Preisinger’s latest album release entitled “Standing Steady”, the evening will feature live performances from local artists, including singer-songwriters Allison Preisinger, Victoria Fragoso, and poetry readings by Mari G. Attendees can enjoy this diverse array of artistic expression while immersing themselves in their own creative process.

The event will offer a range of interactive experiences, including a typewriter poetry station where you can receive a one-of-a-kind poem written just for you. The highlight of the evening will be a Water Color workshop, led by Swan Creek Art Academy. 

All necessary materials for the workshop will be provided, and participants will have the chance to take home their finished works. Additional materials for drawing, coloring, and other artistic activities will also be available throughout the evening, making it easy to find a creative outlet that suits your mood.

This event is designed with introverts in mind, (but is open to all!) offering a low-pressure environment to engage with art, music, and poetry in whatever way feels most comfortable. Whether you wish to simply observe, create at your own pace, or participate in the workshop, the evening promises to inspire curiosity, connection, and creativity. Light snacks, beverages, and merchandise will be available for purchase at the event.
