JoEllen Kesti is the executive director of the Sedro-Woolley Museum and president of the museum’s board. Her own history with Sedro-Woolley goes back several generations to her great-great-grandparents.
In this interview with JoEllen we’ll learn a little about her family history and a lot about how she became involved with her hometown’s museum, and what’s been going on there since her tenure as director/president began a couple of years ago. And believe me, there’s been a lot going on, as you’ll quickly discover in this podcast episode.
You’ll also appreciate JoEllen’s description of the Sedro-Woolley’s Museum mission of enriching a community’s present by connecting it with its past. “When children come into the museum, everyone feels special when they can tie themselves to something they encounter here.”
