Great place to check out artifacts and learn about the early days of settling in the Methow valley area. There is a great deal of fascinating information available here and many interesting pieces of mining and other equipment to check out. Even though the buildings are closed due to the covid pandemic there are many informative plaques to read as you walk around the buildings and learn about what life was like in the area over 100 years ago. If you visit Winthrop and have any interest and history, this is a place you cannot miss checking out.

The tour was a great, informative visit and well worth 60 minutes to learn about the elite crew who fight forest fires by parachuting into rugged terrain. Tour is somewhat informal and packed with insight, history and great explanations along the way. You get the history of parachuting and how it was adopted into forest service. You get to see the gear, both current and historical and a chance to see how parachutes are folded. If you're feeling strong, you can try the 'feats of strength' by lifting a loaded backpack. Good for all ages.
