Cooper Landing Historical Society and Museum

Thanks to Dave Westerman and Don Barber for putting metal roofing on Jack’s store and old CL Post Office! Thanks to Kristine Route for the great signage for the museum buildings, the old Cooper Landing school and Jack’s store and post office. Thanks to Kate Stevenson, Connie Loveall, and Kristine Route and her Youth Group for the colorful and very neat landscaping at the museum. Thanks to K-F for moving that 1928 CAT, used in building the road from Seward to Cooper Landing, out from in front of Katie Feichtinger’s burned wood mural of Kenai Lake to Skilak Lake. Thanks to Kate Stevenson for setting up the special time with Cooper Landing seasonal workers on June 28. Kate enjoyed visiting at local businesses as she took invitations and museum brochures to invite the workers to the get acquainted party.

The Cooper Landing Museum is open from 1 to 5 pm 7 days each week this summer. If you are interested in helping out, being a docent, let me know. Ron Gravenhorst, Kate Stevenson, Skye High, Sally Losco, Kristine Route and the Youth Group, and I are docents this summer with Cathy Leaders and Barb Atkinson subbing. You might catch Charlie Lean at the museum, too.

CLHS meets on Sunday July 9 at 2 pm in the old post office. The current board: President Mona Painter, VP and Treasurer Bob Baldwin, Secretary Barb Atkinson, Jan Mitchell, Ron Gravenhorst, Sally Losco, Chris Hyman, and Gyda Sears. We miss Ladonna Herbert, longtime board member and museum docent. She donated lovely pieces of Alaska native crafts to be displayed din the museum before leaving for her new home in Salem, Oregon.
