Must see!
This might be the best free museum I’ve ever visited. Total respect for the historical society! It’s well laid out, well labelled, and full of a multitude of real treasures and interesting historical artefacts from the local area and abroad that impacted the people here. Standing ovation!

Spacious, well maintained historical museum.
We were surprised to find this spacious, well maintained museum in Ellensburg. Many of the exhibits are in glass cases which were spotless. Of special interest was the lighted neon sign exhibit, the linotype and other printing machines, and the geodes and blue agates. Well worth the time to visit this museum.
