BACKSTORY:

Opened in November, 2014, its exhibits track Kalama’s first inhabitants, the Cowlitz Tribe, and the settlers that followed including renowned Oregon Trail writer Ezra Meeker.

Displays illustrate how Kalama’s particular landscape gave birth to a booming transportation system impacting the area both culturally and economically, ultimately transforming the area into its position today as an internationally-connected community.

Thanks in part to a Heritage Capital Projects grant from the Washington State Historical Society, the Interpretive Center not only tells the story of how Kalama was settled, but treats visitors to artful display models and replicas.
