AMBOY, WASHINGTON – North Clark Historical Museum will present an exhibit featuring Mt. St. Helens before, during, and after the major eruption May 18, 1980 - 41 years ago! No one can forget the lives lost and devastation created in just a few minutes. Many wondered if nature would be able to rebuild the beauty they once enjoyed. Spirit Lake was a place for camping and boating but is now a place for scientific study. Giant trees were mowed down, but new trees replaced them. The perfect cone top is gone, but Mt. St. Helens remains a majestic reminder of the continuing cycle of life.
The Museum will be open May 8th and May 22nd from Noon to 4:00 pm. The address is 21416 NE 399th St., Amboy, WA. Please plan a visit to North Clark County and view the interesting exhibits at the Museum, including photos and information on Spirit Lake and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
