The Pavilion hosts “The Overland Westerners.”

This adventure from 100 years ago documents four intrepid young men, including the Bainbridge Island Beck brothers, as they traveled by horseback to all 48 state capitals with their faithful dog, Nip. Their three-year, 20,000-mile expedition is told through pictures and quotes from their extensive diaries.

The Bainbridge Island Historical Museum on Ericksen Avenue is open every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features “An Island Story” in the old schoolhouse building as well as Ansel Adams “A Portrait of Manzanar” in the Bucey Gallery.
