SEQUIM — A new history exhibit highlighting archaeological excavations at Washington Harbor and the U.S. Highway 101-Sequim bypass will be unveiled at a free public reception at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The display will be within the Jamestown S’Klallam Longhouse Exhibit at the Museum & Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St.
The opening will begin with a traditional blessing ceremony by Jamestown S’Klallam spiritual leader Pat Adams.
The subsequent reception will be sponsored by 7 Cedars Casino.
The displayed artifacts, which include numerous stone tools, were uncovered during archaeological digs in the late 1990s at the Sequim bypass site along U.S. Highway 101 and in 1981 from Suxtcikwi’in, a main Klallam village located along Washington Harbor at the present-day site of the Battelle Marine Sciences Laboratory.
The exhibit center is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
