You and your students will dig deeper into Spokane Valley’s history, taking a trip back in time to the draining of Saltese Lake,
the traditions of local Indian tribes and so much more.

Your visit includes an opportunity to engage in hands-on learning at our outdoor exhibit that includes:

Butter churning

Water pumping

Seed planting

School tour fees and policies

Developing and maintaining relationships with the local school districts is a vital part of the Museum’s mission. We invite schools to book guided class tours.

Our tours are guided by volunteers who are knowledgeable in the subject matter and able to adjust presentations to your curriculum needs.

Fees

$3 for each individual — students and adults

Our fees fund the museum and we are grateful for your participation!
