Townsite tour a hit with participants

The Point Roberts Historical Society once again offered the community a townsite walking tour of the historical buildings in Point Roberts, but this year with a special twist.

Judy Ross had a magnificant display of fabric art pieces she created entitled “Point Robert’s Abandoned Houses. Also on display at the community center and other venues on Gulf Road were the works of Point Roberts Quilters. Over at the Liberty Wine store Doreen Trudel demonstrated spinning on an original spinning wheel made by Arnie Myrdal, who, by 1960 at the age of 89 had made 36 wheels.

For more information about the Point Roberts Historical Society contact Irene Waters at 945-3580 or Davea Fisher at 945-0890. Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Point Roberts community center on Gulf Road, itself a historical monument of sorts.
