The Dancer, the Dreamers, and the Queen of Romania
Steve Wiegand
The Dancer, the Dreamers, and the Queen of Romania tells the story of the Maryhill Museum in Klickitat, Washington and the wildly different individuals―Samuel Hill, Louie Fuller, Alma Spreckels, and Queen Marie of Romania―whose lives and dreams came together to create it against difficult and, at times, unusual challenges. This fascinating story is both informative and captivating, giving an in depth portrayal of the “main characters” as well as the diverse supporting cast as their lives intertwine with each other’s. An unlikely team, diverse dreams, improbable odds, and determination all come together in this tale of the founding of Maryhill, a museum as diverse as the people who created it.
