We are thrilled to welcome back to West Seattle the log-home preservationist who was the contractor for restoration of our “Birthplace of Seattle” Log House Museum 18 years ago.

David Rogers will be the special guest of our historical society for two events on Sunday, Aug. 9, 2015. His appearances are supported by 4Culture.

David Rogers’ return to West Seattle is supported by 4Culture!

It will help us to know how many people are planning this demonstration, so please reserve your spot here: http://www.loghousemuseum.info/events/welcome-back-david-rogers/
• The second event, a fundraiser for our historical society, is a no-host dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. at West 5 Lounge, 4539 California Ave. S.W. in the West Seattle Junction, at which Rogers will speak about the importance of preserving and restoring log structures.

David Rogers, who has operated his Logs & Timbers business from Rhododendron, Oregon, since 1983, has successfully helped scores of private organizations and public agencies to achieve their preservation goals.

He inspired countless thousands with his hands-on leadership of the repair and restoration of our back (south) wall in 1996-1997. His craftsmanship on behalf of the museum is highlighted in the six-minute video excerpt at our website: http://www.loghousemuseum.info/events/welcome-back-david-rogers/
