Number 18 in the Colville Tour Booklet
This post was established in 1928 and continues as strong as ever. Regular meetings are held at 7pm on the second Tuesday of every month. The Frank Starr Post consists of three main bodies: The Post itself, the Legion Riders and the Post Auxiliary.
All Local Historic Plaque Recipients are entered in the Colville Heritage Register and receive one of these burnished copper plaques bearing the date of construction of the building. If you're wondering why the plaques are copper, and not the traditional bronze, it is because it was primarily copper, along with lesser amounts of associated metals, such as silver and gold, which created the impetus for settlement of this area.
