People of Our Past

This annual living history program features five actors portraying real characters from the Wenatchee Valley's past. Visitors will encounter them in various museum exhibits, listen to a short monologue, then ask questions about the person's life and historical significance. Andrew Munro portrays explorer David Thompson; William Dick portrays his real-life grandfather, Wenatchi chief John Harmelt; Sally Knipfer portrays Monitor pioneer Ida Richardson; Pete Mathews portrays Wenatchee police chief Ed Ferguson; and Sue Lawson portrays educator and legislator Eva Anderson.
