Lynde 500 Is coming!  LETS KICK UP SOME DUST!

Enter to win $1,000

The Lynde 500 is a push kart race that requires a team of 4 to push their kart around a twisting track in downtown Lynden. You need to get together 4 people: 3 runners and 1 driver. And then run like hell.

Footsteps on Front Street

The last few months have been very busy here at the museum:
But we would finally like to announce our Downtown History Book!
It will be coming out July 20th, and will be 35 pages with 90+ photos of downtown.  And this will only be the beginning.
The book will look at the history of the existing buildings downtown and all the great things that have been in them in the past 100 years.
They will cost $21.70 with tax and only 2000 will be printed.  If you would like to buy your copy now before they run out be sure to head on into the museum and grab an order form or give us a call 360-354-3675 between 10AM and 4 PM.

here is a sample page:  (looking north at Third and Front-all those beatiful trees!)
