shafer historical museum印象

This museum is very complete in its display of life when Winthrop was a thriving farm and mining community. It is not large, but it contains authentic buildings from the surrounding community and many local artifacts. The history of the families that settled the area is interesting.
-
Very well laid out cabins around a grass centre displaying the various trades etc that would have been in business 150 years ago. There was also a display of a typical gold mining operation from years ago

This place was not what I expected. Rather than a dusty old museum this is a collection of original buildings and artefacts from the Old West 100 years past. The pieces of history stored on these lovely grounds overlooking the valley are surely worth a visit on any trip to Winthrop. You could spend an hour or spend five. Just remember to make a donation!

Whether you are from the Valley or visiting there is a lot of history available and you can spend hours going through this museum.

The museum is not open every day so we walked around and saw the displays that were outdoors and looked into the windows.

An extraordinary view of pioneer history. The exhibits are beautifully done and one leaves with a thorough educational experience. No fees but a minimum $2 donation is asked for - it's worth more. It was some hearty folks who settled the Methow Valley.

Very interesting, spent quite a bit of time there. They have a lot of antique machinery, furniture etc, an educational visit, worth the time.

I liked the exhibits and the huge amount of antiques the owners have collected. We found a little white kitten there that followed us around, and you need only leave a donation to go to it. We went twice and played around there.

This museum is a block up from the main street and is a terrific slice of history. Built around the original Shafer house, it has everything from a one room school, blacksmith shop, mining equipment and a shop with a Rickenbacker car (extremely rare and being worked on). My favorite was the old cabin brought down from the hills, it gives an eerie feeling of a simple life back in the day. The amazing part is that this museum of this quality is built, run and kept by local volunteers! Donation entrance fee..

This is an outstanding small historical museum with lots of fine exhibits and information on early days in Winthrop and the Methow Valley - an area rich in history. $3 donation and certainly worth it.
