Early Changes

The Doumitt Store front depicts a typical dry goods store as it existed in Stevenson, WA. in 1907. Early Changes interprets the development of pioneer communities along the Columbia. The Doumitt Store represents a man who lived the American dream. C.S. Doumitt arrived in Stevenson penniless and developed a very successful business. The store windows display the type of items sold in his store during the heyday of logging and the arrival of the railroad, fishwheels and sternwheelers.
