(Airdate: July 9, 2024) Maryanne interviews Tara McCauley, Executive Director of the Jefferson County Historic Museum, in downtown Port Townsend. She grew up on Vashon Island and at first thought she’d be a teacher. But her love of museums led her to discover a way to combine teaching with museums. After a couple of stints at Seattle-area museums Tara arrived here in 2019. She was only recently promoted to Executive Director and has an ambitious program of “reimagining” the museum. There are major changes now happening as she reshapes the museum to “integrate art and history.” Our museum will never be the same. Still, the artifacts from the rough and rowdy days of sailors and “ladies of the night” are safely tucked away in archives.

John Mauro was on vacation. Taylor Clark welcomed Mistress Zaena, a witch and tarot divinator, and we did a tarot reading for Port Townsend. Taylor’s question might have been “how do we keep PT weird” or perhaps it was “how do we maintain the unique character of our community in the face of social and economic of change?”. Listen in to learn what was in the cards.
