Yakima Valley Museum

The Yakima Valley Museum is a 65,000-square-foot facility that offers historical exhibits on the Yakima Valley, including its natural history, American Indian culture, pioneer life, early city life, and the roots and development of the Valley's fruit industry. The museum has a superb collection of horse-drawn vehicles, an historical exhibit and reconstruction of the Washington D.C. office of former Yakima resident and environmentalist, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, and a changing schedule of special exhibitions. The museum also features a Children's Underground, a 2,500 sq ft interactive learning center offering museum-related educational activities and programs for children ages 5–15, and a functioning replica of a late 1930s Art Deco soda fountain. The museum is a great place for families to learn about the history and culture of the Yakima Valley
