Spence Clark
Spence Clark is a tremendous asset to the Crow Valley School, and we are proud to name him Historian of the Year. A long established genealogist and experienced local historian, Spence brings that same knowledge, research, and energy into lively tours of the Crow Valley School. As a docent, Spence integrates the lives of the Crow Valley schoolchildren (circa 1888-1918) along with stories of individuals who shaped Orcas Island and intertwines both with fascinating local historical vignettes.

The very generous help of our island friends is what keeps the Pioneer Museum in Eastsound and the Crow Valley School Museum open and functioning. We always need a few extra hands for specific events, so if you’d rather not be an ‘official’ volunteer but would like to pitch in for a specific event, simply tell us how you’d like to participate.
We truly appreciate your contribution, no matter what it is or how it comes our way.
