Six museums in the region will be offering a month of public programs to celebrate the history, culture, and seasonal beauty of October in the Columbia River Gorge.  Cascade Locks Historical Museum, the Columbia Gorge Museum, The Dalles Art Center, the Goldendale Library, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum, and Maryhill Museum of Art are taking part in “As the Crow Flies.”  Each organization is offering one or more public programs as part of the event.  During October, residents and visitors can attend activities such as Nevermore, a reading of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe at The Dalles Art Center, help create a public art display, “A Murder of Crows!” at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum, or build a ghostly scarecrow at the Ghosts of Skamania County event at the Columbia Gorge Museum.  Detailed information is available at each organization’s website.
