In a cool modern building overlooking Columbia Park, this hands-on museum focuses on local and regional history and the ecological impacts of human activity (including a lot about the Hanford nuclear reactor). There are rotating exhibits throughout the year, and kid-friendly presentations several times a week; check online for the latest.
The museum also offers tours and guided hikes in the area.
