Upcoming Events
Peace Pole Dedication
The herb garden at Two Rivers Heritage Museum (TRHM) will soon be home to a special symbol of peace and remembrance. A Peace Pole will be dedicated in honor of two beloved community members whose contributions helped shape Washougal and the museum: Molly Coston (seen in the photo), a longtime community leader who passed away in November 2025, and her husband, Phil Harris, the museum’s former volunteer director, who passed away in 2012.
The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony on Thursday, November 19, at 9 a.m. at Two Rivers Heritage Museum, 1 Durgan Street in Washougal. The date falls near the first anniversary of Molly’s passing and just days before World Peace Pole Day.
