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.
