Historic Washington State Park announces the annual summer concert series Music in the Park with the theme “Music that Binds us Together.” Free concerts will be held in July and August outside the 1874 Courthouse.
Music has been a favorite pastime that binds families and communities together.

Come and enjoy evenings of great music that bring us together as a community at Historic Washington State Park.
