600 Cotlets Way, Cashmere, Washington

This museum and pioneer village traces life as it has been lived in this area for more than 9,000 years.

Touring the museum, one marvels at the ingenuity of the Native Americans. Visitors learn, for example, that 5,000 years ago they practiced a form of brain surgery using fermented herbs similar to penicillin. No less impressive are the tiny beads carefully drilled with primitive stone tools, the basketry, and the fine leather and feather work.
