Yakima Valley Museum Exhibit 'Moments That Made Us'

My favorite part of the museum is to go downstairs and look at all of the rocks, the donated native American artifacts, and the apple bins labels. I used to work as the receptionist at the Museum about 15 years ago, so this Yakima Valley Museum holds a special place in my heart!

The Yakima Valley Museum is open Monday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and just for the summer, they're now open Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.
