Nurses At Your Service: A Century of Caring developed by the Washington State History Museum in partnership with the Washington State Nursing Centennial Consortium comprises panels with wonderful graphics and historical narratives on nursing throughout the last century from pioneering times to present day.  In addition to these panels, mannequins portray nurses (one wearing a beautiful cape loaned by Lourdes Health Network), a doctor, and patients (one on a decontamination gurney donated by Kadlec Regional Medical Center).  Visitors may receive free doctors and nurses hats also donated by Lourdes. Inside the same location is a replica of a fall-out shelter that includes items received from Smithsonian Institute and also from the Bonneville Power Administration Midway Substation.  Midway Representatives informed CREHST that back in the 1960's the small community at Midway had a fall-out shelter installed in the underground tunnel that runs below the substation and road area.  This would have served during the cold war era as a sanctuary for residents and workers at Midway.  The contents of the fall-out shelter included Civil Defense items such as survival biscuits and carbohydrate supplements.  The shelter also had medical supplies and sanitation equipment including a Green Metal Drinking Water container, which doubled as the toilet facility (a plastic toilet seat is mounted on the can).  There are two sanitation kits, with purification tablets, sanitizing tablets, and 10 rolls of Scots toilet paper with a note stating that they were for 50 people and to use them sparingly.  These items are part of the Department of Energy's Hanford Collection which encompasses the Manhattan Project and Cold War ERA.  To supplement the items from Midway, CREHST received a donation from the Smithsonian Institute of two large boxes of medical supplies, which would have been used for community fall-out shelters. Museum Hours: Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 .pm., Sundays: 12 - 5 p.m.  Admission: $4 Adults, $3 Students (7-17) & Seniors.

This harpist is a one-woman, blues-flamenco-Celtic-funk-folk-jazz-playing dynamo.  She solos like a rock guitarist.  She tells tall tales with the timing of a stand-up comic.  She sings and plays a 36-string custom-built electric "harness harp in styles ranging from full-out bluesy to heart wrenching ballad.  On stage she brings vibrant passion to a powerful musical journey, taking audiences along for the ride.  Watch this irrepressible, lyrical spirit play the harp and you will never view or hear a harp the same way again.  Concert dates are subject to change.  Check web site for information. Season Tickets:  Adults -$45, Students (full-time & under 22 years old) -$20, Families (2 adults, 3 students) -$105. 

On the fourth Friday of every month we offer free public drop-in tours that will give you an excellent look at our facility.

We regularly provide tours for community groups, astronomy clubs, professional societies and others. Tours usually last about two hours. Tours work best for participants of middle school age and up, but all ages are welcome.

Nurses At Your Service: A Century of Caring developed by the Washington State History Museum in partnership with the Washington State Nursing Centennial Consortium comprises panels with wonderful graphics and historical narratives on nursing throughout the last century from pioneering times to present day.  In addition to these panels, mannequins portray nurses (one wearing a beautiful cape loaned by Lourdes Health Network), a doctor, and patients (one on a decontamination gurney donated by Kadlec Regional Medical Center).  Visitors may receive free doctors and nurses hats also donated by Lourdes. Inside the same location is a replica of a fall-out shelter that includes items received from Smithsonian Institute and also from the Bonneville Power Administration Midway Substation.  Midway Representatives informed CREHST that back in the 1960's the small community at Midway had a fall-out shelter installed in the underground tunnel that runs below the substation and road area.  This would have served during the cold war era as a sanctuary for residents and workers at Midway.  The contents of the fall-out shelter included Civil Defense items such as survival biscuits and carbohydrate supplements.  The shelter also had medical supplies and sanitation equipment including a Green Metal Drinking Water container, which doubled as the toilet facility (a plastic toilet seat is mounted on the can).  There are two sanitation kits, with purification tablets, sanitizing tablets, and 10 rolls of Scots toilet paper with a note stating that they were for 50 people and to use them sparingly.  These items are part of the Department of Energy's Hanford Collection which encompasses the Manhattan Project and Cold War ERA.  To supplement the items from Midway, CREHST received a donation from the Smithsonian Institute of two large boxes of medical supplies, which would have been used for community fall-out shelters. Museum Hours: Monday-Saturday: 10 a.m. - 5 .pm., Sundays: 12 - 5 p.m.  Admission: $4 Adults, $3 Students (7-17) & Seniors.
