Why Can’t They All be Like That?

A couple weeks ago we were tooling around town, trying to dig up some more history and photos. We decided to pop into the old Baptist Church and see what they might have. We ended up talking to the pastor who was amazingly kind and welcoming! We followed him down a dark hallway and made a right turn as he said, “How about you start here, in our history room.” WHAT? History ROOM?!? Yes folks, it is a shine to their over one hundred year history!

We were amazed and thrilled. Talk about hitting the jackpot!

We returned the next week with computer and scanner to scan a few images. While there we learned that the first Boy Scout troop in all of Washington state had been formed at that church back in 1913. They are troop number one.

Seriously, could this get any cooler?

Of course it can! The Reverend Davis, who formed the church back in the late 1800s (incidentally the first church in the town) also happens to be the first person to bring Holstein cattle to the region. We love how history all comes together.
