Klahowya @ Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

Fort Nisqually celebrates the historic and contemporary diversity of our region by opening its doors to welcome all members of the community to experience life in the 1850s. Admission to this event is complimentary for all Pierce County residents.

In 1855, Fort Nisqually was home to people from around the world and they greeted each other with the Chinook Jargon word “Klahowya.”

The fort will be filled with historical interpreters in period clothes eager to answer questions and engage visitors in hands-on activities. The day will include food sampling, live music and dancing, and demonstrations of 19th-century skills.

WHAT IS THE EVENT?: Founded in 2015, The South Sound Business Summit’s purpose is to support South King, Pierce and Thurston County business owners and C-suite managers through a forum where you can learn business, leadership and marketing from market leaders who want you to succeed.

WHY DOES THIS EVENT EXIST?: We believe that the local business community needs a place to learn from other business owner’s success and failures, marketing techniques and other ways to grow and expand your business. We do this to give back, not to make a profit, so that everyone can succeed in business.
