Historic Tour of the Whale Museum
(Originally known as the Odd Fellows Hall)
Join Robin Jacobson on Monday, December 9, 2013 at 6pm for an insightful
“if these walls could talk … and sometimes they do”
presentation and tour of the historic Odd Fellow Hall Building, today known as The Whale Museum.
Hear about the murder trial of Richard Straub, the only person ever to have been condemned to death in San Juan County, and stories about the ghost believed to walk the museum late at night. Discover the International Order of Odd Fellows, the benevolent organization that built the building for its lodge and community in 1892.
Visit the sick. Relieve the distressed. Bury the dead. Educate the orphan. ~ Odd Fellows Credo
