Jutting 90 feet out over the Columbia River, Grant Street Pier was specifically designed by nationally-renowned public artist Larry Kirkland to evoke the billow of a passing sailboat. Lighting concepts for the pier were provided by Fisher Marantz Stone, which helped illuminate the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. and the “Tribute in Light” at New York’s World Trade Center. The pier is the focal point for Vancouver Waterfront Park.

This October, step into the shadows of Clark County’s past for an evening of bone-chilling stories, grim secrets, and lingering spirits.

On four select Saturdays, the Clark County Historical Museum invites you to gather around the crackling fireplace inside **historic Covington House**, the oldest residential structure in Washington State, for a journey into some of the darkest corners of Clark County’s history.

By firelight, you’ll hear the stories that rarely make it into the history books: **murder, tragedy, folklore, crime, demons, corpse thieves, and unexplained occurrences** that have left an unsettling imprint on the places where they happened.

Discover the history of one of downtown Vancouver’s most crime-riddled corners, where three murders unfolded over the course of 120 years.

Learn how a Clark County community came to bear the name of a child-stealing demon from Indigenous mythology.

Delve into the bizarre and macabre story of teenage corpse thieves whose exploits left a dark legacy at a Vancouver high school...

As the fire burns low and the stories grow darker, you’ll have the opportunity to decide for yourself whether the past is truly past, or whether some things refuse to stay buried.
