Curiosities from the Museum: The Headstone – 07/12/2024
Over the years at the Wenatchee Valley Museum, there have been some odd and strange things that have been donated to the collection. While currently there is a screening process and procedures in place for donating items, this wasn’t always the case. We occasionally find oddities lying around from years gone by with little or no explanations.
Like that of the quite morbid sign found in the collection with no information attached that reads:
REMEMBER MAN,
AS YOU PASS BY,
AS YOU ARE NOW SO ONCE WAS I;
AS I AM NOW SO YOU WILL BE,
PREPARE FOR DEATH AND ETERNITY
