Restoration work by museum director and Yard Birds enthusiast Jason Mattson continues on the Yard Bird statue outside the Lewis County Historical Museum in Chehalis on Monday, Aug. 21. The local icon was moved from Yard Birds Mall to the museum last December after the museum acquired it from a private owner. “We are very honored to be the new home of this wonderful and iconic piece of local history,” the museum wrote on Facebook at the time. “ We’ll be giving him a full restoration as soon as possible, so keep an eye out for updates.” Yard Birds faced upheaval last year as the City of Chehalis at one point ruled the building was not habitable. The city lifted condemnation notices, but the building has been vacated. Photographs from 1986 are being used in the restorative paint process to style the bird back to its original glory.
