HistoryTalks! The Evergreen Ballroom @ Lacey City Hall, Council Chambers

The Evergreen Ballroom story is an immigrant story, a local community story, and a music lovers’ story. From the time it was constructed to the last day that music played, the dance hall saw a number of people cross its stage who would go on to musical fame. In this presentation, Rebecca Sanchez will cover her research from a series of local history articles published on Thurston Talk.

Hybrid Format: Come in person or join online.

The tour will make stops exploring significant sites in Japanese American history before reconvening at the Washington State History Museum for a taiko drum performance.
