Friday, March 20th, 2009 at 12:00 ? 12:45 pm. Members of the Washoe Tribute Group will be discussing and answering questions regarding their efforts to create a memorial to Washoe, a very special chimpanzee internationally known as the first non-human to acquire a human language (American Sign Language). With her family, Washoe, who lived in Ellensburg from 1980 until her death in 2007, greatly contributed to a broader understanding of human and non-human intelligence. The Kittitas County Historical Museum and Washoe Tribute Group invite you to attend this month?s Lunch & Lecture to learn more about Washoe, her family, and how the Tribute Group hopes to memorialize Washoe?s story for generations to come.

Hours are: Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and open until 7:00 pm on the first Friday of every month. You can also contact us at (509) 925-3778 or at kchm@kchm.org.
