Early Days in Eglon
A Storyteller's Account
Thursday, September 16, 2010
Join us as we hear
stories that bring to life the early days
of Eglon, a tiny community near Hansville
that was home to many well-known Kitsap
pioneer families who shaped the
development of the area. WE begin at the
Eglon Community Church, built circa 1918,
where we will sit on the original seats
from Poulsbo's Almo Theater and hear
entertaining sorties of Eglon's pioneer
families and earlier times, as recounted
by long-time resident Duane Sabin. His
recollections of early school days, pranks
and milestones, characters and
leaders,
families and places from Eglon's past will
amuse and entertain, as well as give us
insight into this historic, but little
known area. We will also stop by the
Community Center, which was the
schoolhouse in those bygone days. You
won't want to miss this morning of
storytelling and history! After our visit,
we will enjoy a delicious lunch at the Oak
Table Cafe, in Kingston.
