PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County Historical Society will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Clallam County courthouse at the society’s annual meeting at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
The program will be at First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St.
Parking and entry to the church’s social hall are on Laurel Street.
A photographic record of past county courthouses will be presented by Mike Doherty, former society president and county commissioner.
A summary of courthouse history will accompany the photos, from the first county seat located at Whiskey Flats in New Dungeness to several buildings in Port Angeles.
A main focus of the talk is the history, construction and operation of the “old” courthouse, located at Fourth and Lincoln streets, dedicated in June 1915.
Some history and photos related to the “new” courthouse, opened in 1980, will be covered.
This program also serves as the historical society’s annual meeting and covers the installation of board members and officers, presentation of heritage award winners and announcement of the winner of the donated quilt.
Refreshments will be served.
History Tales is free and open to the public.
