Open House 2013

Once again it's that special time of year at the Lynden Pioneer Museum when the museum comes alive.

On Thursday, October 10, 6-9 p.m. it's the Open House.

The shops have clerks, the saloon has a bar keep, the barber shop has a barber.  The shops will be open.

The schoolhouse has pupils in the classroom.  There will be parlor games for the children too.

Bill Smith will be wood turning tops for the children and George Van Achte will be carving.

Our local Dairy Ambassadors will be giving out some dairy treats.

There are too many activities to list so you'll just have to bring the whole family and see for yourself.

Admission is FREE!

Coffee, lemonade and homemade cookies for a donation.

The Lynden Music Festival is providing music for the evening with the The Jaded Lovers, a country rock and roll band.

The gift shop will be open so the kids can come and make their Christmas list.

See you there!

2010 Open House

Last evening was the Lynden Pioneer Museum's 34th Annual Open house. An amazing evening with so much excitement in the air you could feel it.

Our director, Troy Luginbill and his Dad, George Luginbill brought Mabel, their WWII truck, for her debut. They have been working hard to get her running and refurbished and last night she was parked in front of the museum in all of her glory.

The shops on the museum's Front Street came alive with shopkeepers, experts,

authors and visitors.

Special thanks for the delicious desserts. The Lynden Dutch Bakery, Doris Jean's Donut's and our own docents and volunteers, the Whatcom Dairy Women and Ambassadors and Lynden Starbucks all brought something to the table. Yum!

It's the best night of the year at the museum, the whole museum is packed with families and presenters. The place just hums! I love it!

See you next year...
