Washington State Hist. Society Museum

The museum depicts Washington's geographic diversity and human history from indigenous peoples throughout European exploration and immigration in the 20th century. Interactive exhibits, theatrical storytelling, high-tech displays, and historic artifacts. A multi-media presentation provides an overview of the state's history.

A diorama representing the state's environmental zones leads to an area illustrating the American Indian lifestyle, including exhibits about home-building and food and reed-gathering. Also featured are such artifacts as baskets, carved masks, tools and clothing.

The pioneer era is documented through a diorama of a westward-bound immigrant family and maps, ship models, trade goods, weapons and related pioneer relics.

This is just one of the many Historical Museums located throughout Washington.
