When the first settlers passed through here in the
late 1890's, they fell in love with the beauty of the canyon and
recognized the value of the many resources located here.
The Timber industry played a major role in establishing
our community and brought the workers and their families here.
Up until the 1994, Klickitat was a bustling industrial town.
Then the greedy Corporations sold us out and left us to fend for ourselves

Life here has changed dramatically in the past 15 years and
as the memories of those days begin to fade
The need to save and preserve our heritage has become a priority
with those of us still who still remember those days

If you have a group or are just interested in visiting our museum,
we would love to show you around.

Contact the Klickitat School District-509-369-4145
