US Public Health Service Exhibits

 

As we struggle to learn new ways of fighting the Covid-19 virus, we are hearing a lot about Quarantine. For the history of this practice in the lower Columbia River region, read these recent articles from our local media:

 

"This Nest of Dangers: Knappton Quarantine Station was our bulwark from contagion"

by Nancy Lloyd &

We celebrate the history of the Public Health Service at Knappton Cove and hope you'll come visit...when it's safe to do so!
