Kittitas County Historical Museum

The Kittitas County Historical Museum in Ellensburg, Washington, offers visitors a glimpse into the local history and culture of the area. The museum houses a collection of artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that showcase the region's past, from Native American history to early settlers and the development of the county.

The exhibits cover various aspects of local history, including agriculture, ranching, and the railroad's impact on the region. Many find the staff to be knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the overall experience.

However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in a short amount of time.
