Sometimes the things you need just appear, especially when you have someone who hunts them down for you. We wished for a cedar chest to hold some of the antique quilts we are preserving at the Log Cabin Museum. Patricia Sullivan (the best finder of things) reached out to Tina at Abraham's House Charity in Bremerton who had one that she donated to us. Picked up this morning it looks like it's right at home. Thank you!! Abraham's House Charity is such a treasure.

I always love this story about mailing children in the early days of the postal service. Although the builder mailing tons of bricks is interesting as well.

On January 1, 1913, the United States Post Office began offering parcel service.

It's Black History Month. See this Kitsap History Museum story and page for great information on influential people in our area.

This Black History Month, we honor and remember Roosevelt Smith - a historian, veteran, activist, and tireless champion of Black history in Kitsap County.

Roosevelt dedicated his life to collecting, preserving, and sharing the Black experience - locally and nationally. Many knew Roosevelt through his annual Black History Month columns in the Kitsap Sun, where he shared stories, challenged assumptions, and made space for voices that deserved to be heard. Others learned through his powerful displays of Black Americana - collections he used not to shock, but to teach, to invite conversation, and to meet people where they were.

He passed away in 2023, but his work, and his spirit, continue to shape our community. We are deeply grateful for the legacy he left behind.
