Ghost Signs of Spokane

Long before the days of neon or digital signage, local entrepreneurs painted the names of their businesses on the sides of the buildings. Although they have faded over time, dozens of these signs are still visible all over downtown Spokane. Now called “Ghost Signs,” they are a window to the city’s fascinating past. During this tour, Museum archivist Anna Harbine will take attendees to the streets of Spokane for a walking tour of the city through the interpretive lens of the many iconic ghost signs still visible here. Please meet in the lobby of The Davenport Hotel before 10 a.m.
