The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Centerโs mission is to gather, engage, and educate people to celebrate and preserve the history, arts, sciences, and rich diversity of our region. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates with the support of the cities of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. We are housed in two historic federal-style downtown buildings that served early Wenatchee as the Post Office & Annex. We have begun an exciting transformation to update and modernize the facility. Titled the Branch Out campaign, this effort reimagines our campus with connected buildings, welcoming gathering areas, and interactive exhibits. We have begun the work of creating a destination that reflects the energy of our growing community and ensures these stories are preserved, shared, and celebrated for decades to come. You can now find Museum events and programs in various locations throughout the community. For more information about visiting our temporary pop-up Museum, call our Guest Services staff at 509-888-6240 or stop by at 30 S. Mission St.
