When you visit the museum this summer for the Kiwanis Pig War Picnic, Island Rec’s Music on the Lawn or with your summer visitors, give them a look and you may learn a bit more about San Juan Island history. For instance, did you know that the first automobile arrived on the island in 1905? That the jail was used until 1971, when it was condemned and declared to be the worst jail in the state of Washington?
The signs were designed by Jennifer Rigg of LOEA Design with historical context developed by Boyd Pratt and were installed by Fred Yockers. Funding was made possible by a San Juan County Historic Preservation Grant and contributions from museum members.
The signs are the latest improvement to the museum grounds which in recent years has seen restoration of historical buildings, installation of walking paths, new outdoor exhibits and new picnic tables.
