Okanogan County Historical Museum — Attraction in Okanogan

This was hands down one of the best museums I've ever been to. They have the not only the entire county's history laid out with multitudes of large displays but the whole regions as well.

Many very old vehicles on display as well that could even be viewed without paying the 2$ admission per adult (kids under 15 free).

Definitely a must stop and...

Definitely stop & see #OkanoganCountyMuseum on your way to #Penticton across the...
