We care about the quality of your stay with us. Below are nearby attractions, shopping and restaurants that are popular with our guests. Listed locations are nearby with approximate distance listed where available.
Most Popular Area Attractions
Clark County Historical Museum
As you embark on your next journey through the Pacific Northwest, be sure to plan some time for a Washington visit – you'll want to head for the coast and check out Vancouver. Once you've made your way into Vancouver – not far west of Washougal and south from Battle Ground – plan for a tour of the Clark County Historical Museum.
Built in 1909 as a part of the Carnegie Library, the Clark County Historical Museum is a non-profit organization, seeking to preserve and highlight the area. Permanent and rotating exhibits blanket the inside of the museum, giving visitors a real glimpse at the early days of Clark County and Vancouver. The museum is open from February through November.
Esther Short Park
The oldest public park in Washington, Esther Short Park is definite must-see on your next trip into Vancouver and the WA coast. Established in 1853, Esther Short Park doubles as the town square in downtown Vancouver. Drive in from Washougal or Battle Ground and explore Esther Short Park – check out the bell tower, rose garden, and the historic Slocum House.
Esther Short Park was named for early Vancouver resident of the same name – dedicated in 1922, the Pioneer Mother statue was sculpted by Avard Fairbanks to commemorate the life and likeness of Esther Short. More recently, Esther Short park has played host to a number of different concerts and performances, and won the Development of Excellence award from the Urban Land Institute of Oregon and Southwest Washington. In 2013 it was voted by the American Planning Association as one of the "ten great public spaces."
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site preserves the Washington Coast area's first military post and premier archaeological site. This historic site encompasses 194 acres of land near Vancouver. In 1824, Fort Vancouver operated as a fur trading outpost by the British Hudson's Bay Company, as well as the center of the community with the first school, hospital and saw mill.
The fort later became a United States Army post. Visit the fort today to see the cultural demonstrations, archaeology digs and National Park Service ranger-led talks. The Lantern tour in the evening is one of the more popular guided tours. Enjoy your time at the site and learn of its rich history. Stay close to the site and many other area attractions, as a guest of Best Western hotels.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Abstract: |
BACKGROUND: Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule (SCCNV) is an uncommon malignancy. Our purpose is to define the incidence of simultaneous and delayed regional metastasis in SCCNV according to the available literature. METHODS: Articles discussing SCCNV and addressing the issue of regional lymph node metastases were reviewed. CONCLUSION: SCCNV is an uncommon form of cancer, possibly originating in the mucocutaneous junction. The incidence of lymph node metastasis is variably reported. The data in the literature do not provide a solid basis for recommendations on elective treatment of the neck. Thorough examination of the neck is recommended, preferably with modern imaging techniques. (c) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2010.

J. Blake Thaxter Jr., age 94, a longtime resident of Cohasset, and a resident of Stratton, Vt., and North Palm Beach, Fla., died peacefully Nov. 19, 2012, at the home of his daughter, Deborah, with his family at his side. Born in Malden, he was the son of the late Joseph Blake Thaxter and Marian (Traiser) Thaxter, and the younger brother of the late Jeanette Traiser Bowes. Mr. Thaxter grew up in Brookline and graduated from Brookline High School. He spent many summers with his family on Cape Cod, where he was the lifeguard at Craigville Beach and won many diving and swimming awards. In high school Mr. Thaxter met and fell in love with Jayne Crowell, whom he married in 1940 and to whom he remained devoted until her death in 1992. After their wedding, Mr. Thaxter and his wife spent his senior year at the
University of Michigan
, where he received his B. A., Class of 1941. During college, Mr. Thaxter continued his stellar swimming career. He held a number of collegiate and national freestyle records while he was a member of the Michigan varsity swim teams that were the Big Ten and National Collegiate Champions for all four years of his tenure. After college, Mr. Thaxter joined the
U.S. Navy
and proudly served his country during
World War II
as an officer on the USS Crescent City, which saw action in the South Pacific. He never forgot the enemy torpedo that headed directly for his ship but at the last minute skipped over the hull. He remained close to his fellow shipmates for the rest of his life. After the war, Mr. Thaxter graduated from Boston University Law school and embarked upon a distinguished legal career that included serving as the first assistant District Attorney for Norfolk County, acting as a special prosecutor for the city of Quincy in a criminal investigation into cemetery fraud, and opening his own law firm in Cohasset, where he practiced for over 30 years until his retirement. For over 20 years, Mr. Thaxter served as Town Counsel for Cohasset, regularly advising town boards and serving as town moderator. He found great satisfaction in participating in town affairs, and was a founder and president of the Weymouth Junior Chamber of Commerce, the founder and president of the Cohasset Village Association, and a president of the Cohasset
Rotary Club
. Mr. Thaxter was always a lover of sports, and after his swimming career, he became an accomplished badminton and tennis player. For many years he was the tennis chairman at the Cohasset Golf Club, and in 1960 he was a founder and president of the Cohasset Tennis and Squash Club, one of the earliest indoor tennis clubs in Massachusetts. A few years later he founded and operated the Cohasset Paddle Tennis Club, the first paddle tennis club on the South Shore. He also loved skiing and spent many winters enjoying his home at Stratton, Vt. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling with friends, playing tennis well and golf badly, weeding his vegetable garden and taking rides with his son Jody in his motor boat, the famous "Blue Ice". Mr. Thaxter spent his life dedicated to taking care of his wife, his family, his friends, his community and anyone else who needed his help. He will be remembered as a mentor to young attorneys, a trusted advisor to his clients and friends, a tough but fair advocate, a role model to his children and at all times a consummate gentleman. He lived life to the fullest and will be sorely missed. He was the beloved husband, partner and best friend of Jayne (Crowell) Thaxter; and the devoted and much loved father of Deborah Lincoln Thaxter and Joseph Jody Blake Thaxter III, both of Cohasset. He was a special grandfather to his grandson, Daniel Thaxter Steele; his step-grandsons, Chauncey Chad Depew Steele IV and Samuel Bart Bartley Steele; and his step great-granddaughter, Corinthia Steele. He is also survived by his nieces, Terry Bergeson, Diane Bowes and Karen Beaton; and nephews, John J. Bowes Jr. and James N. Bowes. A memorial service will be held Dec. 8, at 11 a.m. at the First Parish Church, North Main Street, Cohasset, with a luncheon to follow. Relatives and friends are kindly invited. Private burial in the family plot at the Hingham Cemetery will precede the service. Contributions in Mr. Thaxter's memory may be made to the Scituate Animal Shelter, 780 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Scituate, MA 02066. For his obituary, directions to the service or to share a remembrance in his guest book, please visit

This will pave the way for their conservation: Suresh Kumar
Nearly 120 monuments in the city that were devoid of their legal status as heritage structures are set for legal recognition, paving the way for their conservation, Minister for Urban Development S. Suresh Kumar has said.
He would ascertain the reason for the delay in the gazette notification to identify and conserve heritage structures, and expedite it, the Minister added.
Mr. Suresh Kumar was interacting with presspersons after inaugurating a workshop on "Planning for heritage towns and cities under the Karnataka Municipal Reforms Project", organised by the Department of Town and Country Planning, here on Saturday.
Mr. Suresh Kumar, who is also the district in-charge Minister, said that according legal sanctity to structures for their historic, architectural and heritage value would be significant for Mysore, which is the only city from Karnataka to be listed under the Indian Heritage Cities Network.
Earlier, in his inaugural address at the workshop, the Minister quoted from the Venice Charter on heritage conservation. He expressed hope that the workshop, which was the first of its kind organised by the State Government would be a guiding stone in heritage conservation.
The promotion of heritage could be a driving force for urban development and socio-economic growth, Mr. Suresh Kumar said. Nearly 90,000 international tourists used to visit Bodh Gaya in Bihar, but once the place underwent restoration and renovation, it attracted over four lakh tourists, he pointed out.
Mayor Sandesh Swamy mooted the idea of appointing a senior IAS officer to oversee conservation of heritage monuments in Mysore.
The four-day workshop here is being attended by officials of local urban bodies from across the State.
The workshop is expected to create an opportunity to exchange examples of good practices in the field, laying the foundation for future collaboration.
It aims to provide participants with theoretical and practical knowledge on creating a heritage-sensitive master plan for their towns and cities.
