Humanities Washington presents Harriett Baskas, an award-winning author and radio producer who will explain why downtown Winlock features a statue of the world’s largest egg, and why is there a drive-through stump displayed at a rest-stop on I-5? Washington is notorious for its offbeat and unusual landmarks. This presentation will explore the cultural, economic, artistic, historic, and philosophical influences on local and state history by exploring iconic and unusual objects, events, and stories. Learning the often-forgotten or untold story behind an artifact or event leads to a discussion of history and community identity and brings added meaning and context to objects and events within a community.
