Dedicated to preserving and sharing the history
and legacy of Klickitat Washington
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 we were sold out and left 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.
