wenatchee valley museum and cultural center印象

I enjoyed this unique museum and the nice people who kept the place open. The floor of the main floor post office is inverted 6" fir 2x4's. Very odd and very unique. Ask the docent to show you the floor and the peep holes where the boss spied on the workers. Worth the visit!

Quaint museum with relatively little to view. The ground floor is given to local organisations to use, art exhibits etc. The downstairs area is dedicated to the apple industry with a hands on exhibit. Nice little gift shop which does not require a museum entry fee.

Too many displays were incomplete. Too many stairs to climb both up, down, and back again. I live here and had expected more out of our lil museum. They could take lessons from Cashmere, Wa museum just up the road.

This Museum is locat d in my home town.This is not a "historic" area. It is one of the most bland places in the entire Pacific Northwest. The area's only real claim to fame is thatthe fellows who did the first Trans-Pacific flight, back in the 1930s, overflew their original landing site in the Seattle areaand landed on a hill side near town.I wish I had something more positive to say about the place.If you are interested in 20th Century fruit growing methods, it might be marginally interesting. There is also a beautiful 1930s WPA mural painted on the wall of one of the buildings..Very little else in the collections are of even modest interest.

We so enjoyed the museum and the volunteers were so informative and kind..Great displays and much to see ..the railroad, apple industry, columbia river exhibit... the only problem on the day we were there is that there is no seperation from the cultural center..It was a joy to see the childrens day camp..but children were running through out the museum,,Sometimes parents followed..very noisy. It was hard to even focus..I always have a sense of refernece for museums and the message may need to be shared with children and some of the adults....Having lived in this area years ago I have to admit I was surprise to see nothing regarding Latinos, or any of the migrant populations that are a key history piece. There are a few references to Native Americans. Hopefully inclusion is part of the philosophy.

The museum is in the middle of a remodel. The main floor has been opened up and will feature local baseball history in June of 2012. After that the new area will feature art and other changing exhibits. The museum staff is looking forward to having a much larger, more flexible area for events such as the Wine Gala.The village buildings that used to fill that space have been placed in storage and local history will be moved upstairs where the art gallery was. The Pangborn Flight, Stevens Pass Train, Coyote's Corner, Native American, and Apple exhibits have not changed. The Gold Gallery continues to feature changing exhibits. The Apple exhibit is now more easily accessible because a small elevator was installed.

This Museum really surprised us with lots of displays and topics relating to our beautiful Wenatchee Valley. We have been to the Center many times and have learned alot and enjoyed special events they put on for the community. Worth putting on your "to do list"!!

Lots of fun history. Did you know that Wenatchee used to have cobbled streets?

I go here often. I am known for having unusual jewelry and find many necklace and earrings sets here, often for less than $20 a set! Its fun, when I am complemented on what I'm wearing, to tell people it came from the Museum! Also has great things for kids that DON'T require a computer! Their buyer has a real knack for finding books, videos, toys, jewelry, etc. And the Museum is great, too!

The apple exhibition in the basement is a must, but I also liked the model of the landscape with the description of the 1910 train crash.
