History On Tap - Our Mr. Matzura
The Clark County Historical Museum is pleased to welcome back History on Tap. Join the Clark County Historical Museum for an engaging evening of film and discussion at the historic Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield.
A powerful documentary on immigrant photographer Frank Matsura, followed by a talk exploring identity, community, and the American West.. This installment of History on Tap features a screening of Our Mr. Matsura, a compelling documentary that tells the story of Frank (Sakae) Matsura, a Japanese-born photographer who made his home in rural Washington State in the early 1900s.
Orphaned at a young age and raised in Tokyo, Matsura immigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Okanogan County. There, he became deeply embedded in a diverse community of Native people, settlers, and working-class residents, including cowboys, miners, ranchers, and shopkeepers. Through his photography, Matsura documented everyday life in the American West with warmth, humor, and an unusual sense of intimacy.
Unlike the rigid and formal portraits typical of the era, Matsura’s work often featured playful self-portraits and collaborative images that challenged conventional ideas about identity, gender roles, and representation. His photographs continue to shape how we understand the region’s history today.
Following the screening, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a discussion exploring Matsura’s legacy, the power of photography in storytelling, and how immigrant voices have shaped the history of the Pacific Northwest.
This installment of History on Tap is made possible through the generosity of our season sponsors, the Old Liberty Theater and Ridgefield Main Street, with media sponsorship through The Columbian, and program support from Enspire Arts and Silver Keys Media.

Tony Furtadois an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter, and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalistadept on slide guitar, banjo (twice national banjo champion), cello-banjo, and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story). All of the music of America is in Tony’s music. Relix hit the nail on the head when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories.”
With their dizzying musical toolbox, Tony represents the best in Americana/Folk/Roots. This is a show you definitely don’t want to miss!
“Tony Furtado is a major musical force without a doubt. He has his black belt in voice, bottleneck guitar, and his banjo playing scares the crap out of me.” -David Lindley
