News Hop House early 1900s- The first settlers to the Forks Prairie did not come for logging. Hops were one of the main crops. Merrill Whittier was one of the first white settlers/farmers and is seen here standing next to the dog near the center of photo.

Thirteen folks from Forks and Clallam Bay Sekiu enjoyed a sunny afternoon at the Cowan Heritage Area kitchen garden, at the Annual Potato Dig/Seed Swap. After a potato-digging orientation, eager diggers went to work, carefully excavating potatoes. The potatoes were then sorted. Most were Ozette potatoes.
