The semiquincentennial marks the beginning of our nation. The Columbia River Maritime Museum (CRMM) is looking at the mouth of the Columbia’s own beginnings — with Indigenous peoples before Oregon and Washington became states.

Join the education team at CRMM with a tactile exploration of the fur trade. Learn about Indigenous trade networks, impacts on the animal populations, and why the fur trade is strongly linked to Astoria’s roots. Event is included in regular museum admission.
