White River Valley Museum Field Trip

Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but you don’t have to go far to bring history alive for your homeschool. White River Valley museum is right next to our local library and we’ve never been in all our 7 years living in the valley! Lucky for us they have waived admission for the rest of 2021 which really motivated me to put it on our field trip list. You gotta check it out, it is a local treasure.

Original pioneer cabin. Man, it is TINY.
I’m usually apprehensive about taking a toddler to museums but this one was very toddler proof and had many interactive stations for her to play with! We also had the place to ourselves.
I couldn’t get over this diorama of logging in the Puget Sound. You HAVE to see it!
Okay, guys. By far and away, the coolest thing was that they recreated the local historical town. It was amazing!
Handsome went right for the gun display
Ha!
Yours truly pretending to be a olden times school teacher.

I would show you all the amazing pictures of this place but I don’t want to spoil it for you. Some of my favorites are the old school house, the hat shop, and the replica passenger train car. C liked the old dentist chair and A was a fan of the old piano. Lil C was just excited to touch all the fun “toys”.

Go visit the museum! It is well worth the trip.
