Learn how native baskets connect to the past! Anthropologist and archaeologist Dr. Dale Croes, who has spent over 40 years studying Northwest Coast basketry and cordage, will give a free Schmidt House History Talk Thursday, March 6, 2025 at noon. Attendees may each bring one basket for Dr. Croes to identify after the talk.
