Welcome

This is a preview to a newer version of the Reardan History web site, still under construction. This version gets rid of the rigid hierarchical structure and relies on a search box to find things. This software is the same base software as Wikipedia. New things are added only to the new format. Eventually when all of the old stuff get converted to the new structure, the old structure will be abandoned. When that switch over is complete, anyone will be able to contribute to the history. Presently this is maintained in two places: on the web and on my laptop and the latter is the "official" version for now. (You can change the web, but I won't guarantee that I'll see or honor your changes.) Comments are welcome on Facebook or directly to me.

Welcome to the Reardan History wiki. Reardan is a small rural town in eastern Washington whose main industry is producing soft white winter wheat, some cattle and other crops like barley, mustard and canola. It has been around since the 1870 and had changed to fit the times and circumstances.

This wiki is a collection of stories and photos about Reardan. The main collection takes in many sources like the holdings of the Reardan Memorial Library, the Lincoln County Historical Society, the Spokane Public Library, the WSU Library collections, Dan Plaster photograph collection,and other photographs found on the Internet.

This site in under active development, so things are being added (which can be exciting) and moved quite a bit (which can be annoying). Please have patience during this construction phase.
