Archives quarterfinal #3: Tenino Oregon Trail marker vs. first WA territorial prison

Our third quarterfinal game in the Archives Treasures tourney showcases two items with southern Thurston County ties. The first is a 1906 photo of the Tenino Oregon Trail marker. The second is the collection of documents for the first prison in Washington Territory, located near present-day Bucoda. You can vote for your favorite using the online poll below. It’s open until Monday at 9 a.m., so you can vote even while indulging on turkey or football!
