We are thrilled to shared that our own Dr. Richard Scheuerman was awarded the 2024 Pacific Northwest History Award! The award is presented to one individual annually by The Pacific Northwest Historians Guild, which is a nonprofit organization that brings together scholars and public historians who specialize in our regional history. Founded in November 1980, the Guild encourages the teaching and appreciation of Pacific Northwest history and promotes communication among historians and history enthusiasts.
Richard was deeply honored by the recognition. As part of the celebration, he was invited to deliver a speech to the annual Guild gathering. He spoke about the influences on his life that instilled in him a passion for history, agriculture, heritage, and more values we share and promote here at Palouse Heritage. Watch his remarks and the follow up question and answer period here. (Apologies for the poor lighting in the video!). A podcast/audio-only version of the speech is available here:
