April 25th. Spring Clean Up.

Come join us for our annual spring cleaning. Joined by the Scappoose members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, members of the Scappoose Historical Society spend the day spring cleaning both the inside and outside of the Watts House Museum. Bring a sack lunch (water and soda provided) and your gardening gloves and tools. We'll be planting flowers and bushes, laying bark and cleaning and trimming outside. The clean-up runs from 9 am to 12 pm. Come and have some fun!

May

May 9th & 16th. Spring Tea.

Our annual Spring Tea, actually a three course luncheon, is now on its 9th year! Held every year at the Watts House Pioneer Museum in Scappoose, this event is often used as a chance for women to get together and have an enjoyable afternoon with friends, but don't let that discourage you fellows--you're always welcome! Extemely popular, many of our attendees return every year as part of their Mother's Day celebrations. Past years have included musical performances, storytellers and fashion shows. Also, as part of the fun, a drawing will be held for a small gift. A tour follows for those who wish to see the Museum. The food is always delicious and the service wonderful, so be sure to make this event a part of your year. (Please see the ticket information listed under April's events.)

The museum will be closed to the general public on the Saturdays of the Spring Tea

September

Sauerkraut Festival.

Hosted by the Scappoose Community Club. Vendors, live bands, and many activities will be available. Come join the fun. This year's event will be held September 19th.

October

Harvest the Memories.

This is the fall fundraiser for the Scappoose Historical Society--but we don't want your money! We're looking for historic images to include in our archives. While we accept donations of actual photographic prints, we recognize that not everyone wants to part with their own photos, and we don't blame you! Our archive collection also includes digital images--and that's what we're asking for. Bring your historic photos from the Scappoose area (prior to 1950) to the Watts House Pioneer Museum for scanning. We will professionally scan them at archival levels and then, as money permits, have them digitally restored. This way the heritage of the area is not lost in the event of disaster or citizens moving to other areas and it will be available to all. Can't make it on the designated days? Have more than just a few photos? Set up an appointment with us. It's that important.

Bonne Bouche.

Come celebrate National Dessert Month with us! The Bonne Bouche (that's pronounced bawn boosh and is French for good mouthful) will be an afternoon gathering at the Watts House Museum where you can enjoy a variety of delicious desserts.

This year's gathering will be held between 2 and 5 pm on Sunday, October 25th. You can come any time during the open hours to enjoy your choice in dessert. Each dessert ticket is only $5 and can be purchased online or by contacting a member of the Scappoose Historical Society. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Bring your dessert ticket to exchange for your choice in dessert. Want more than one dessert? Purchase as many dessert tickets as you would like to exchange for desserts. Remember to bring a friend!

To purchase online: Simply click on the "Tickets" button below. You will be taken to a secure window in PayPal. (You do not have to have a PayPal account to pay with PayPal.) Adjust the quantity for the number of dessert tickets to be purchased and follow the checkout instructions to pay with echeck or credit card. If you have any questions, please contact ReAnna Sharp prior to purchasing.
