Kittitas County Historical Museum

The historic and photogenic Caldwell Building houses the Kittitas County Historical Museum that contains artifacts from dinosaur bones to the modern-day tools.  Themed rooms display an eclectic collection of exhibits highlighting the military, automobiles, life in the early 1900s, business technologies, medical equipment, Native American heritage, and much, much more.

The Caldwell Building, completed in 1889, initially housed two retail stores at ground level and offices upstairs.  It changed hands numerous times over the decades until the Kittitas County Historical Society purchased it in 1974 and opened the museum the following year.
