American Farmer Screening – Tom Mathison: The Growing Season

Join us in a documentary screening about the agricultural industry in honor of our featured exhibit American Farmer. 

Film description:

“A true rags to riches story, this half-hour documentary follows the life of Tom Mathison from his humble beginnings on the family farm, to the foxholes of World War II, to his missteps and struggles as a small farmer in the 1950s on the way to becoming a major force in the world tree-fruit industry as founder of Stemilt Fruit. A high tolerance for risk, an unparalleled work ethic and an absolute refusal to fail were his hallmarks.” 

Admission to each screening will be included with museum admission. Learn more about American Farmer here.
