SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Move It On Over: Stories and Songs of Hank Williams\, a musical history performance by Joel Underwood
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Trust is excited to welcome music historian\, folksinger\, and storyteller Joel Underwood to Vancouver for a special performance\, Move It on Over: Stories and Songs of Hank Williams\, in the stunning Providence Academy Chapel. \nBy turns hilarious and heartbreaking\, Underwood and his guitar vividly bring to life one of America’s most influential musical voices. Set against the backdrop of New Year’s Eve\, 1952—when a frail yet determined 29-year-old Hank Williams embarked on a fateful journey from Alabama to Ohio—the performance moves between Williams’ formative years and the mystery surrounding his untimely death. This compelling two-act\, one-man show features ten beloved songs while thoughtfully exploring themes of addiction\, fame\, and generational trauma. \nReturning to Vancouver after wowing audiences with his performances celebrating Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan\, Underwood delivers a heartfelt tribute filled with warmth\, wit\, and authenticity. Along the way\, he performs classics such as “Your Cheatin’ Heart\,” “Hey Good Lookin’\,” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” inviting audiences to sing along\, reminisce\, and reflect. Move It on Over captures both the spirit of Hank Williams and the enduring soul of American country music in a way that is deeply personal and profoundly moving. \nTicket Information:\nTicket price is $18 and includes all applicable taxes and fees. Seating is general admission in Providence Academy Chapel pews and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. (30 minutes prior to performance start time). Free parking is available in the Providence Academy lot; please note that the Aeon Apartments parking lot is not available for event parking. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nIf available\, tickets will be sold at the door for $25 each. \nThis event is a fundraiser for The Historic Trust\, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from ticket sales support its mission to inspire civic pride and economic vitality through education\, preservation\, and celebration of our community’s history. \nSome of the public areas in our buildings may not be fully accessible to visitors with limited mobility. Please call in advance for more specific information: 360-992-1800.

SUMMARY:General Thomas Anderson at Vancouver Barracks
DESCRIPTION:Register today and join us for an engaging presentation on one of Vancouver Barracks’ most influential commanders! \nOhio native and Civil War veteran General Thomas M. Anderson (1836-1917) commanded the 14th Infantry at Vancouver Barracks from 1886-1898. As one of the longer-serving commanders\, he\, and also his family\, became active in the community as well as at the post. Presenter Jeff Davis (Major\, U.S. Army\, Ret.) will talk about Anderson’s service in the context of the larger history of Vancouver Barracks. Anderson’s family had long-time association with this area as he was a grand-nephew of William Clark of the Corps of Discovery\, and his namesake son also served at Vancouver Barracks. The desk Anderson used while serving in Vancouver was donated to the Clark County Historical Museum and is on display at the Howard House. \nOur speaker\, Jeff Davis\, is an archaeologist and was active with the Vancouver Barracks Military Association for many years. A native of Vancouver where his Army father was based\, Davis joined the Army Reserve out of high school and served for many years around the world\, and also at Vancouver Barracks. He has authored and contributed to many books and other publications on military and Northwest history and is a frequent public speaker and tour guide. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE.  \nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by University Village. \n \nPhoto Caption:  Anderson family and friends sitting on the front porch of the post commander’s home. The 1878 home is now called the Howard House after its first residents – General Oliver Otis Howard and his family. \nCredit: Clark County Historical Museum

SUMMARY:Mid-Century Modern Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration of the architecture and history of mid-twentieth century Vancouver with State Architectural Historian Michael Houser. Learn about mid-century modern architectural styles\, and the builders and designers who brought them to life. Houser will highlight several notable local designers including Day W. Hilborn\, Donald Stewart\, Keith Bradbury\, and William D. Cassady. \nHouser has served as the Architectural Historian for the State of Washington for more than 20 years\, and has a long record of helping building owners and the general public understand and connect with the architecture and history of their communities. Currently he manages the State and National Register programs at the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation in Olympia\, as well as Washington’s unique Heritage Barn Program. \nHouser helped heighten public awareness of post-WWII resources by establishing the “Nifty-from-the-Last 50 Initiative\,” which has documented over 300 mid-century modern buildings across the state and continues to grow. Recent projects include writing biographies of architects and building designers who practiced around the state\, and a study of the late 1950s nationwide Gold Medallion Home program\, which promoted the use of residential electricity. \nVancouver native Houser holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho and a Master of Science Degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University.  Previous jobs included working as the Historic Preservation Planner for Deschutes County\, OR. Earlier experience includes time at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn\, MI and survey work for the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. \n  \nRegistration is now open! \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited.
