The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center in Wenatchee, Washington, preserves the history of the Columbia River region in eastern Washington, from Native American heritage to modern community life. Founded in 1939 by the Columbia River Archaeological Society, it occupies two historic buildings with exhibits spanning three floors. Its collections include eleven-thousand-year-old Clovis points found in East Wenatchee, petroglyphs saved before Rock Island Dam, and displays on Native American trade. Other exhibits explore orchard agriculture, town life, and music, while the damaged propeller from Miss Veedol connects the region to the first nonstop trans-Pacific flight in 1931. The museum also continues as an active cultural center with programs and events year-round.
