Prosser Historical Museum: Sheep shearing model (photo diary)

The city of Prosser, Washington, named for Civil War veteran Colonel William Farrand Prosser, was incorporated in 1899 with a population of 230 people. Colonel Prosser and his wife Flora claimed a homestead near the site of an ancient Yakama Indian fishery in 1892. The Yakama Indians had, of course, lived in the area for thousands of years, The Prosser Historical Museum has exhibits showing the history of the region. The model of a sheep shearing was carved by Ralph Sawdy who had lived and worked in Prosser from 1900-1920. As an elderly man, he carved his memories as models.
