🏛️ Help us bring a new exhibit to life at DuPont Historical Museum!
The SS Beaver was the first steamship to travel Puget Sound, arriving in 1836 and owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. This new exhibit will highlight the Beaver’s important connection to Fort Nisqually.
âš“Through new research by DHS volunteer and historian Jeremy Holm, visitors will discover how this vessel helped shape the history and development of our region.
🫶💸 Consider helping us fund a new exhibit featuring a replica of the Beaver, artifact displays, a custom display case, graphics and media elements, and specialized lighting to bring this story to life.
