Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center

Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center The Museum is proud to share a variety of exhibits interpreting life in the Valley of the mid-Columbia dating back to the Ice Age.

Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center gathers, engages, and educates people to celebrate and preserve the history, arts, sciences, and rich diversity of our region. Learn about the earth-shattering power of the Great Missoula Flood and how our region was carved and shaped by cataclysmic forces. Discover the famed Clovis Points and learn about the indigenous stonemasons who created these (then)

state-of-the-art spearpoints coveted by tribes all across North America. Learn about the first Western explorers to paddle these shores and the settlers who homesteaded here. Consider the wild landscape that coast-to-coast railroads, an agricultural revolution and the building of the dams transformed into one of the top fruit producing regions in the world. Expand your mind, explore your imagination and get in touch with the roots of our region at the Museum!
