Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest that began as a gold dust office in 1856. The Beekman Bank Museum saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold! Allow 30 minutes.
August Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Mosaics Big and Little - Suzanne Hatch and Joi Tripp
Monday, July 28 - Monday, September 1, 11:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Opening Reception: Friday, August 1, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Currently featured at ART on FIRST are mosaics by Suzanne Hatch and Joi Tripp. Suzanne creates mosaic artwork using glass, metal, ceramics, and semi-precious stones to form intricate designs. For many of her pieces, she builds a three dimensional substrate that begins with chicken wire, plaster, and mortar. Alternatively, Joi brings the timeless art of micro-mosaics to life. She cuts and files tiny glass rods into pieces averaging 2mm x 2mm. These small pieces are then placed into an epoxy adhesive bed that is permanent.
