There was a nativity showcase being shown at the Nez Perce County Historical Society and Museum. It started on December 13th. I had seen the nativity once before, but I wanted to go again. On that day, I went in the afternoon to see the showcase and to look through the museum. With my camera in tow, I stepped up to the door leading to the museum. Once I got inside, I paid the $6.00 entrance fee. I then browsed the gift shop, knowing I'd also be back to purchase some items. I started off walking down a white-painted hallway that all led to another room. One of my favorite pieces was the mammoth fossil. Not many people know this about me, but I wanted to be a paleontologist. However, I had many interests as a kid. Still, I LOVED fossils and rocks. Science was actually my favorite subject in school.
I've been to the museum before, too. I always feel like there's something new to spot as I walk around. The museum pretty much covers everything from Lewison's history. I'm curious myself as to all the pieces, I'm sure some were donated to the museum. As I explored the room I was in, I noticed some of it was focused on World War II. When you think about it, it's crazy that there really was a world war. In this modern age, it's sometimes hard to put ourselves in that past era. What did people feel back then? Were they any different from those in this time period? I'm sure life back then was hard in different ways. They didn't have the conveniences that we have here now. I mean, I can't imagine a time without the technology that we have. Isn't history just so fascinating? We can learn so much from it.
I didn't know much about the history of Lewiston. This museum was and is the best place to find out information about this town. So, whether you're really new to the area, or even a longtime resident, be sure to stop by here. I like to go every so often. It's good to brush up on the history. Plus, I'm looking to see if there's any new pieces that have been added, and I believe they do update it if they receive new stuff. And if you or your family haven't gone yet, you should go. Besides science, I also love history! So, reading from the little sections placed throughout the museum are full of interesting facts. I also like how they secured everything a certain way. There's much to look at and read, and I didn't have time to take in all of it. I hope to go back another day soon, so that I can really soak up all the info.
My favorite thing of history is the archaeology, another interest of mine. Because I love history, it was a special treat to visit the museum again. I really didn't take the time to read much, however, I plan on going back again during a less busy time. Then I'll fully be able to soak in everything. So, if you noticed, this post is only part 1. There'll be about 1 - 4 parts of this. I'll be posting the second part here soon, so please hang around for it. In ending this part, I hope you're enjoying it so far. I plan on sharing more about my interests with you, whether it's history or science. One or the other. What are some of your own interests? I'd love to hear them. You can leave a comment, and I'll get back with you. 💓
Many blessings,
