“How to Love a River” by Robert Michael Pyle is one of the pieces featured in our current exhibit. Published in Hipfish Monthly in 2005 and featured in Dr. Pyle’s most recent publication, "Through A Green Lens, Fifty Years of Writing for Nature", this moving and powerful piece is sure to stir up feelings of love, caring, and concern for all rivers. Our summer exhibit 'For the Love of the River' brings together artists, authors, and creative community members of all ages uniquely expressing their views of the Lower Columbia Basin. There are photographs, sculptures, poetry, paintings, textiles, and more. This exhibit runs through Labor Day weekend, September 3rd and we are open Thursday - Sunday from 12 noon to 4PM.

Every Little Bit Helps......
Redmen Hall, with its RiverLife Interpretive Center, formerly known at Skamokawa Central School, was built in 1894. the school closed in 1927.
The Fraternal Order of Redmen saved the building from highway construction by moving it to its present site in the mid 1930s. It then became their meeting house.
The Friends of Skamokawa Foundation, formed as a 501 (c)3 in 1985, purchased the abandoned building and have restored it to its present condition.
The RiverLife Interpretive Center depicts the early history of Skamokawa, centered around the formerly dominant industries of fishing, logging and farming.
