  Community members in and around Newcastle and Issaquah share a love of history. Historical societies and individuals have curated their own assortments of tools, residential items, and machinery that local archaeologists can view to learn more about the artifacts we might identify while working in the woods here in western WA. Let’s gather to view one man’s collection of items and learn together.
