Bicentennial Commemorative
Pendleton Blanket
The Lewis and Clark Expedition has long been recognized as a pivotal event in the nation's history. Nevertheless, it has only been during the current bicentennial era that modern scholarship has revealed the true importance of the Washington segment of the trail.
Accordingly, it is only appropriate that the Washington State History Museum produce this Lewis and Clark Pendleton Blanket, surely to become one of the most prized bicentennial collectibles. This is especially true of the limited, numbered "members edition"of 200, made available solely to the members of the Washington State Historical Society.
The blanket tells the story of the "Corps of Discovery." The image of Lewis & Clark is the official insignia emblazoned along the trail and the map is a faithful replica of the trail map produced by the expedition, with words in brackets added to Captain William Clark's place names to aid in identifying important sites.
The bands at the top and bottom of the blanket represent the major Native American homelands and environmental zones through which Lewis & Clark passed on their way to the Pacific. The lower band represents the plains; the upper band represents the coastal zone near trail's end.
For $299 (plus tax and shipping, if applicable) you will be able to secure this exclusive blanket. Deluxe packages that include the premium numbers 1-9 and 200 within the registered set, and a bonus pack of bicentennial collectibles are also available.
To reserve your blanket or to request more information, call the membership assistant at 253-798-5902.
