We were surprised to find this spacious, well maintained museum in Ellensburg. Many of the exhibits are in glass cases which were spotless. Of special interest was the lighted neon sign exhibit, the linotype and other printing machines, and the geodes and blue agates. Well worth the time to visit this museum.

Since my last review, I have visited the tasting room often (Maybe too often?). In addition to upscaling the facilities and decor, the wine is excellent and the management is very accommodating. A fine selection of wine is available for tasting and really interesting art work pleases the eye. A fine place to visit before going out to dinner.

We stopped in after walking around and we we immediately struck by the artwork on the walls. The environment was cozy and friendly with great seating in the back. The owners just happen to be artists of the artwork on the walls and we were able to purchase the collection while enjoying a very tasty pizza! Don’t miss out!
