History-It affects all of us.

Are you tired of your history?  Is it boring?  Simple?  Common?  Did all your ancestors do is travel a few thousand miles West?  Survive hunger, thirst, violence, illness and emotional hardships?  Did they cross an ocean in the hold of a ship infested with lice and rats?  Did they eat nothing but salted beef and bread so hard you had to soak it for an hour just to gnaw on it?  Were they thrown out of their homes because of their religious or political views?  Or perhaps they were simply kidnapped and dragged away in chains?


At the Lynden Pioneer Museum we are working diligently, day long and through the night to solve the problems of boring history.  No more will you have to relate stories of hardship and strife at parties when your friends are talking about alien abductions, and political conspiracies.  You will not longer have friends walk away after a few minutes of you relating how your ancestors "had it so much harder than us."  No-we are coming up with new ways to prevent boring history and give you a chance to impress your friends, co-workers, neighbors and strangers on the street at every opportunity.


History afflicts all of us.  And boring history afflicts 99 out of every 100 people.  Help us fix this problem in our society.  We can't get rid of history but at least we can make it "not boring."


Support this effort by coming into the Lynden Pioneer Museum today and find something interesting about history.  If we all work together we can overcome our past.
