An upcoming exhibition in Tacoma will feature the Journals and letters of a 19th Century explorer of plant species, birds, and Northwestern tribes, offering a learning experience for people of all ages.
Scottish naturalist David Douglas, who visited the Northwest area back in 1825 on behalf of the London Horticultural Society, will be the focus of the display. His mission on this journey was to collect plant seeds that would thrive in traditional English gardens, which was generating excitement in the homeland. He established contact with influential explorers and scientist, while preserving more than 200 plant, animal, and bird species. The samples collected were shipped back to his homeland, as well as artifacts and utensils of the tribes located in the area.
The museum might have used poster printing and banner printing to share information with the public about the exhibition, thus reaching out to history and outdoor adventure seekers in the area.
Admission to this exhibition costs $9.50 per adult, $7 per senior, student, or active/retired military, and children under the age of five are free. The David Douglas exhibition will be happening on Wednesday, April 30, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Washington State History Museum located at 1911 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington.
