Now Open to the Public

by Kelly Cline

On a simply gorgeous Saturday in January the highly anticipated Grand Opening of the Museum of the North Beach occurred in splendid fashion. An enthusiastic crowd of over 120 of patrons, volunteers, and local dignitaries converged to witness the transition of a shared vision into a vested reality. MBTS President Kelly Calhoun presided in his official capacity and selected Officer Kathy Jaquet for the official Ribbon Cutting ceremony, then used the master key to officially open the doors to the public. Officer Lee Mariott unveiled the new Museum of the North Beach sign while Director Jackie Davis placed the Open Flag out to punctuate the event.

In October of 2002, volunteer crews entered the old Hewitt's Cold Storage building located on the east side of the Highway 109 and just north of the Ocean Crest Resort Recreation Center in Moclips. The building is owned by the resort with the forward portion being donated for use by Moclips-By-The-Sea Historical Society to establish the Museum of the North Beach.
The Grand Opening was January 18, 2003.

The North Beach area includes Moclips, Pacific Beach, Aloha, Taholah, Copalis Beach, Ocean City, Ocean Shores, and all points between. With the Moclips 2005 Centennial arriving shortly, it is clear that this area has had a rich and vital part in the history of not only Grays Harbor County, but the State of Washington as well.
