SENIOR PLANNER
RE: REQUEST FROM THE WHITE RIVER VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
REGARDING A POSSIBLE SATELLITE MUSEUM IN KENT
In late August, I received a telephone call from Linda Van Nest,
President of the White River Valley Historical Society, concerning
the possible siting of a satellite historical museum in the City of
Kent.
Park Orchard Elementary School has agreed to give the Society a
replica log cabin (constructed for the State Bicentennial) which
must be moved .from their .grounds _to ma ke way for a new playfield.
The log cabin is approximately the size of a portable classroom.
It currently has no power or bathroom facilities. Ms. Van Nest has
proposed that this cabin, once moved to a new location and provided
with power and possibly a water/sewer connection, house a satellite
museum.
Ms. Van Nest is interested in pursuing City assistance for moving
the cabin and siting it on City property in downtown Kent.
Apparently the downtown community has voiced interest in a museum
and Linda believes she may have docents available to staff such a
facility. Possible museum sites might include the Burlington Green
(near the gazebo) or the municipal parking lot adjacent to the new
Kent library.
Ms. Van Nest will present her proposal at your meeting on September
17. Action requested is direction to staff regarding this request.
