Spring 2021 Director’s Letter

Dear Members,

We are open! It’s such a treat to have visitors back in the museum and hope in the air.

With safety the highest priority, we continue to use a timed-entry, advance reservation system. This allows for contactless payment and limits the number of visitors in the galleries at any one time. And, of course, the grounds are open (and beautiful this time of year), providing yet another space to enjoy the beauty of Maryhill.

I’m especially enjoying the new exhibition P.K. Hoffman: Mill Creek Potter, which showcases the considerable skill of local ceramic artist P.K. Hoffman. His large, almost human-sized vessels are at once delicate and imposing.

We are looking forward to hosting the Plein Air in the Gorge after it was postponed last year. Paintings will be on view and available for sale in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center from August 1-28, 2021. See page 4 for all the details.

Our first foray into on-site programming was a six-week drawing workshop on the grounds; if you missed it, we will repeat the program (with painting added) this fall. Please bear with us as we transition back to our regular programming. Our goal is to provide programs that are both flexible and safe under the circumstances.

For those of you not yet ready to travel, we continue to offer virtual programming and online exhibitions, including the excellent Connections – Teachers As Artists, featuring arts educators from State and an upcoming collaboration with ’s Aristides Atelier. While the past year has been difficult for all of us, the silver lining of virtual connection is one we plan to continue building upon.

Maryhill’s Museum Store is now online, offering a limited selection of books and Maryhill-related merchandise. We will continue to expand the inventory. Look for the link on our website.

Finally, I would like to convey a sincere thank you to all who have participated from a distance over the past year and shown your support as we navigate these trying times.

I am grateful for your continued enthusiasm for Maryhill.

Be well,

Colleen Schafroth Executive Director

P.S. If you’ve yet to renew your membership please visit maryhillmuseum.org to renew online. Now, more than ever, we need your support.

Stonehenge Memorial: A Maryhill Marvel

Maryhill’s Stonehenge Memorial has long captured the imagination of visitors traveling Washington’s Highway 14. When you first encounter it, rising up from the plateau like a mirage, you might be tempted to rub your eyes to make sure they aren’t playing tricks on you. Stonehenge appears both unexpected and right at home, with the concrete “stones” weathered into the same subdued hues as the surrounding landscape. On closer inspection your curiosity may be satisfied and further piqued, as the intriguing story of the memorial’s origin takes shape.

Like the monument itself, the story of Stonehenge is many faceted. Sam Hill was a man of diverse passions and once he set out to accomplish something there wasn’t much that could stand in his way. In this case, as a committed pacifist, he wished to honor soldiers who gave their lives to what he saw as the folly of war, and to make a public statement about the tragedy and futility of the events that led to their deaths.

Stonehenge Memorial was recently nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The application, prepared by Architectural Resources Group (ARG), gives further insight into Hill’s inspiration for the creation of the monument.

Inspiration for Stonehenge Memorial The origins of Stonehenge Memorial lie in a fundamental misinterpretation of the prehistoric monument on which it is based. Located more than 4,800 miles away from Maryhill in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is one of the most recognizable prehistoric monuments Archaeological investigations have invalidated in the world and has been the focus of Aubrey’s theory, not least because Stonehenge archaeological excavation and study since the predates the existence of Druids by several early 1600s.

This we are sacrificing the blood of our youth to the interpretation can be traced back to the late gods of war.” seventeenth century when English antiquary John Aubrey theorized that stone circles such Hill’s understanding of Stonehenge as site of as Stonehenge were constructed for use by human sacrifice led him to use the ancient Druids, a priesthood of ancient Britons whom monument as a model for the World War I the Romans had identified as practitioners of memorial that he would later construct at human sacrifice.

Spring 2021 15 Exquisitely Connected

Michelle Rath of Lincroft, New Jersey created this piece for the Exquisitely Connected Project. She is a watercolorist who has been painting for around seven years. “I took this up as I was approaching retirement. I love to go out with my camera, take pictures and return to my painting room upstairs and create another story with paint, water and paper,” she says. Her inspiration for the piece came from “our current situation with the coronavirus and sheltering in place. Whether you are an individual, a neighborhood, city, state or country, we are all in this fight together and even if separated we are united and connected in our goal to get through this pandemic.”
