Paul Dorpat, you will be missed!

Last week we had an amazing turn out for the Lazy Husbands McMenamin’s Lecture! Looking forward to seeing you all at our next event Petals on the River. More info to come!

We had a blast at the April History Pub at sharing our research and stories about the Lazy Husbands Farm and other work houses and poor farms in King County. Thanks to the 100+ history lovers who came out!
We even found the historic "Lazy Husband's Road" located in Bothell, Wa.
Thanks to Bothell Historic Society

See you next time!
