The Everett Museum of History will have a display table at the Everett Farmer’s Market. We could use your help staffing the table for a couple hours! We are bringing awareness to the public of the museum, selling books, and talking lots of Everett history.

The market has moved this year to the waterfront of the Port of Everett, to 615 13th St.  More information and a map is here: http://everettfarmersmarket.com/directions/

We’ll be there the following Sundays from 11 am to 4 pm:

  • May 22
  • June 26

  • August 21
  • September 18

  1. I know the June and July ones are not an option (out of town) but perhaps later shift August 21st or August 18th? My concern is how far do we have to walk from where the parking is…..

This week we want to highlight @usnatarchives and @librarycongress for this incredible look into the lives of #womenabolitionists. . . . #regram This week’s #19ForThe19th theme is women abolitionists, and we’re highlighting two amazing women who fit this prompt! Sarah and Angelina Grimke were some of the first women to join the abolitionist movement. Known as the Grimke Sisters, they grew up in the South in a pro-slavery family, but when their father’s health problems moved the family north in the 1820s, their abolitionist views began to develop. The sisters became well known not just for speaking out against slavery, but also for addressing audiences of both men and women (neither were popular practices in the 1830s). In 1836 the House of Representatives passed the “gag rule” which automatically tabled (dismissed) all petitions regarding slavery. This petition from the women of Brookline, Massachusetts--led by the Grimke Sisters--was sent to the House of Representatives calling upon them to immediately rescind the gag rule that had been passed, calling the resolution a violation of the Constitution. The “gag rule” was eventually rescinded in 1844 when it was argued that stifling the First Amendment right to petition was unconstitutional. Want to learn more about women abolitionists? Follow along with #19ForThe19th for more amazing women in history, and see our story today for even more women who fought to end slavery from the National Archives holdings. . . . 📸 1: Petition from Women of Brookline, Massachusetts, Praying that the Gag Rule be Rescinded, 2/14/1838.

#19ForThe19th - Hidden Heroines: There have been numerous hospitals established in Everett, and nurses were a vital part of the burgeoning medical community. Nurses work tirelessly to provide care to patients and their families, and today we celebrate their dedication to the profession. Everett nurses from an unknown hospital pose for a group photo. We love their crisp white uniforms! #HiddenHeroines #RightfullyHers #everettmuseum #emoh #everettwa #nursing
#19ForThe19th - Hidden Heroines: Teachers dedicate their lives to educating the children of the community. Everett Museum has a large photographic collection full of images of teachers and school children, including this photo of the first smelter school in Everett in the 1890s. Edna Knapp (top left) was a teacher at this small school on 9th and Walnut. It operated until the Garfield school was built and the students transferred there for lessons. #HiddenHeroines #RightfullyHers #everettmuseum #emoh #everettwa #teachers
