Most Americans have heard of Old Faithful or seen movies of Yellowstone bison in winter snorting great clouds of steam into the frigid Wyoming air. Many worry about the volcanic Yellowstone Hotspot erupting and obliterating most of North America. But let’s face it—to link the Yellowstone Hotspot to Tumwater Falls is a stretch. How could there possibly be a connection when Yellowstone is in Wyoming, 800 miles away? Good question. Hear Dr. Gary Ritchie tell us the Dr.story!Gary A. Ritchie earned a PhD in forest biology from the University of Washington, and has been a plant scientist, author, and lecturer on plant physiology and ecology for 45 years. During retirement, his interests in the natural world have broadened to include geology and Earth sciences.

The Brewmaster’s House was built in 1905 for William and Lou ise Naumann. Mr. Naumann was a brewmaster at the Olympia brewery just across the river. Considered quite modern for its day, the house boasted hot and cold running water, a coal-fired boiler, and electric lights in each room. The design of the home was largely inspired by the Victo rian age, but was much less elaborate than earlier Queen Anne Theexamples.exterior of the home had changed over the years, but it was restored to its original appearance after the City of Tumwater acquired the house in 1977. The interior changed very little and provides a wonderful look at how Tumwater residents lived in the early 1900s. Interpretive signs give the visitor a thorough history of the house and its various owners.
