"The Westerners, Spokane Corral is dedicated to Pacific Northwest history."
The Pacific Northwesterner
The next Westerners Spokane speaker, Joan Mamanakis (mamaNAkiss), will present "Turning to Normal" on February 16. Joan joined the Cheney Historical Museum in 2004. Discovering a passion for this avocation, her focus has been on research in order to understand and use the collection to tell stories about Cheney's local history. Joan has served as a Director for 15 years. Now, as we come out of COVID, and having moved the museum, the museum is looking for people who are interested in helping to create a 21st century local history museum.
For her presentation Joan will tell the story about how the citizens of Cheney turned the lemons of losing the county seat and religious squabbles into the lemonade of a State Normal School. And, in doing so, they assured their future and saved the town of Cheney from the fate of many small farming communities.
