RICHLAND -- Hanford Reach Interpretive Center leaders are taking inspiration from one of the most recognized figures of World War II -- Rosie the Riveter -- for their new fundraising campaign.
The theme is, "We Can Do It."
"For us, it's borrowing from a time when people came together for a common purpose," said Lisa Toomey, the Reach center's chief executive officer. "We believe that a common purpose is to build, operate and sustain the Reach to tell those stories of who we are, where we've been, where we're going."
The Burke Museum and the Archaeological Institute of America will hold its Archaeology Day on Jan. 5.
The Harbor History Museum’s new special exhibition, “Savage Ancient Seas,” opened on Saturday and will run through July 14.

Students at Bridgeway Christian Academy will be stepping into the shoes of some of their favorite inventors as they take part in a "living wax museum" Friday, May 31.
Each third- through fifth-grade student at the school researched an inventor and came up with a costume and scene for an exhibit in which they'll be like a living wax figurine.
The museum will take over the multipurpose room of the school, which is located inside Redeemer Lutheran Church, 858 W. Smith Road. The public can tour the living museum for free at 11 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Friday, with an extended tour and student presentations running from 12:45 to 2:30 p.m. A tour and presentation for school families will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
