The NW Regional 2025 Tour was another success. Thanks to Karen and Warren Bergh and Irene and Howard Bergh. We had nine vintage autos with twenty-one attendees.
We started our tour at the Tumwater Best Western. After having a good night’s rest we headed out to the Evergreen State College. There we learned about the carvings of the Nisqually Indigenous People. The carvings at the college long house were done by people from the Nisqually tribe along with Indigenous People from New Zealand.
Next, we went to the Gerber Art Studio where we learned about one great Nisqually leader that is remembered today as Leschi (1808-1858). Out of respect he has often been referred to as Chief Leschi. We learned that both Warren and Howard Bergh are relatives of Chief Leschi.
We then made a stop at the Olympia Farmer’s Market for lunch. There were many booths to choose from for a delicious meal.
Then on to a senior living community in Lacy, Panorama City. There we had a car show with the Dodge Brother’s autos.
The next day we visited the retired firetrucks in Tumwater. We all had fun looking at and pretending to drive the trucks.
Then on to the Lewis County Historical Museum we learned about the history of the Olympia, Chehalis and Tumwater area. Also, at the Veteran’s Memorial Museum we learned about the area residents who served in the military.
Then on to the Bergh farm for a fantastic dinner! Afterwards we had our yearly meeting.
Finally on the last day we attended the parade for Oregon Trail Days at Tenino. Our cars were a big hit.
