Newaukum, Washington
Newaukum, Washington

Newaukum, Washington is an unincorporated community located directly south of Chehalis, Washington in Lewis County. The community's name, which is theorized to mean "gently flowing waters", was spelled in various ways during its early formation, including Naw-waw-kum and Newaucum. Settlement of the town began in 1852 and a first post office was established in 1856. The community grew after the construction of a Northern Pacific Railroad line in 1872 which bisected the area. After the railroad company requested a main depot on the tracks in Lewis County, Chehalis was ultimately chosen over Newaukum due to a combination of petitioning by Chehalis residents and travel difficulties through Newaukum. A small station was built in Newaukum and the town further developed to accompany the increase in the shipment of grain and timber production in the region. The community increased in size enough to briefly be considered as a county seat. By the turn of the 20th century, Newaukum contained a school, several shops and stores, and continued to be home to several sawmills and lumber manufacturing facilities. With the creation of new mail routes in the county, the Newaukum post office was discontinued in 1907. The Newaukum Grange was created the same year and the community constructed the Newaukum Valley Schoolhouse in 1914. By the 1940s, the school was no longer used but both the building, and the grange organization, remained an active part of the community into the 21st century.

Gospodor Monument Park
Gospodor Monument Park

Gospodor Monument Park is a roadside attraction along Interstate 5 near Toledo, Washington, in the United States. It features four sculptures, collectively known as the Gospodor monuments, created in 2002. The tallest sculpture, meant to commemorate Mother Teresa, stands over 100 feet and features a gold painted wooden statue of Jesus. Another sculpture monument features a carving of Mother Teresa posed in prayer. Two additional towering artworks honor victims of The Holocaust, which features an eternal electric flame, and a 100-foot tall tribute depicting Chief Seattle, commemorating Native Americans and other indigenous tribes. Smaller memorials to historical figures, such as Susan B. Anthony, and a carved, wooden eagle encased in glass, were later added as the park expanded.After their installation in 2002, the sculptures caused routine traffic jams due to drivers slowing down and rubbernecking. The monuments, along with their night lights, were highly controversial with local residents and the government of Lewis County acted to prevent additional sculptures from being erected.Dominic Gospodor, who commissioned the artworks and was the landowner, died in 2010. Ownership of the park was purchased by, and transferred to, the Cowlitz Tribe two years later, with a focus on land and wildlife conservation. Gospodor's estate did not provide any funds to maintain the works and the pieces began decaying due to weather and lack of maintenance. The glass encased eagle, in good condition, was moved to downtown Toledo under a permanent loan agreement between the Cowlitz people and the city.
