(Olympia, WA–) The State Capital Museum invites you to a special presentation by author and field researcher Dr. John Bindernagel of British Columbia. He will speak about his more than 30 years of studying Bigfoot. His work highlights some 150 Sasquatch reports and compares them with similar reports of great apes in Africa and Asia. Refining his field of study, Bindernagel has recently focused on the behavior of Sasquatch including its response to human presence. His field work consists of evidence gathered in the mountains of Vancouver Island and the ecological questions surrounding the life of a great North American ape.
Dr. Bindernagel’s presentation will be preceded by a book signing of his work North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch. This will be held at the museum and is hosted by the State Capital Museum Store.
The presentation and the book signing is a ticketed event. Tickets are on sale at the museum. Please come in during public hours, 11 AM to 3 PM, Wednesday-Saturday to purchase tickets in person. You may call to purchase tickets at anytime, not just during museum public hours. Please call either 586-0170 or 586-0166. If you have to leave a message, someone will return your call promptly.
The cost is $5.00 per person which includes the presentation, book signing and museum admission. The presentation will be held in a nearby facility with seating capacity of up to 300 people. You are advised to purchase tickets ahead to insure your admission to the book signing which will be held at the State Capital Museum in the morning, and the presentation in the afternoon.
This program is offered in conjunction with the exhibit Giants in the Mountains: The Search for Sasquatch, on view at the museum through September 2008. The exhibit explores the Sasquatch mystery and focuses on the Pacific Northwest environment which has created a rich setting for the traditional beliefs that have grown up around these beings. Scientific explanations, hoaxes and popular cultural interpretations about Bigfoot are tackled. Tribal artifacts and artwork as well as physical evidence collected in the field by anthropologist Dr. Grover Krantz are on display. Organized and presented by the Washington State Historical Society.
The State Capital Museum is located in Olympia six blocks south of the Capitol Building at 211 21st Avenue South West in the historic Lord Mansion. The State Capital Museum is a division of the Washington State Historical Society. The museum presents exhibits, programs, and events that bring to life the stories of Washington’s history.
