While doing laundry down the street, we decided to stroll in here and check it out. They had an activity for my kid, a scavenger hunt. That was really fun. The place is interesting and gives a lot of historical knowledge. The lady working there is super cool and was helpful and fun. Her attitude is awesome. I love the old outfits, those were neat. And the Native American information. Thank you for sharing history with us.

Interesting place with lots of history. Very knowledgeable and interesting gentleman at front counter.

They have a lot of history laid out in a way that keeps you interested. Staff is friendly and always helpful.

My brother from Alaska wanted to visit and was given an informative guided tour. Knowledgeable staff!

This is a very small historic museum. The historic items and artifacts are limited. The historical stories are well laid out.

Best and friendly staff. Tons of knowledgeable information and books to purchase.They have it set up beautifully to see things. Well worth stopping in there.Rita Walker

The Fardell sons presentation of their favorite photos their father, Jan Fardell, took was very good. Enjoyed visiting with Kim and Tony beforehand.

LOVE this museum! Highly recommended!! Go early and allow plenty of time because even a full day isnt enough to take it all in!!! We really enjoyed the scavenger hunts and quizzes available from the volunteer at the help desk. You fill them out as you go and they help to enhance your museum experience. I believe theyre suitable for pretty much any age.

Interesting, informative, and local historical artifacts.

Informative, I never knew Long View had such an interesting rich history

Fantastic place to visit, tally enjoyed the video that Jim showed. Must see.

We absolutely love the museum...

Small museum packed with a lot of interesting historical artifacts from the local area including indegenious tribes and settlers. Also has a section of an actual cabin (1800s?) inside the museum.

Super cute! My girls enjoyed building the house :)

This is a local gem. Here individuals and families can learn about both local and state history. There are some hands-on exhibits as well as traditional. There is also an area with a rotating exhibit, this is great as you never know what to expect each and every time you go. The gift shop is great with both locally made goods as well as replicas of toys of the past. They have some unique gifts that would work well as stocking stuffers.

This was a great place to go and learn more about the state of Washington, and deep rich history that I am glad was preserved for my son to see, he enjoyed it aswell and they have a little questionnaire sheet for the children to fill out to be more engaged and excited about being there, of the complete it the get a piece of candy, overall I give it a 5 out of 5 and will be going back again to look over what I missed the first time.

Pretty neat little museum, the kiddos loved the scavenger hunt

Very neat little museum. Tons of information and I enjoyed it immensely.

The Museum always has interesting events going on. I remember taking my child to go see science events and some of the historical events are amazing! Volunteers are kind and helpful

Theres a giant collection of local artifacts here, in a beautifully constructed building that feels miles away from everything despite being right smack-dab in the middle of a busy intersection. Admission is free, and the docents Ive met have all been very knowledgeable and willing to talk to you about anything inside. Theyre currently (late 2016) going through a giant renovation of the exhibits inside the main part of the building, and from what I could see through the plastic sheeting, its going to be an exciting update to the existing collections. The gift shop also has a ton of locally-made goods and historical/educational stuffs, as well. Its definitely worth having a look through, and learning more about our local history!

Wow..so much to do and explorePerfect for little ones to touch and see

Great place. Awesome staff

A wonderful time full of good family fun. We loved the scavenger hunt with prize and awesome displays.

Great museum. Newly remodeled as of the time of this posting. Exhibits are very well done and there is a fact scavenger hunt game you can play thats fun for both kids and adults

This was an awesome visit!! We had a great learning experience!!

Another donation based museum worth the visit. Fascinating Cowlitz county history.

Museum is small but filled with a lot of exibits and many are interactive for kids

All items with good details. Fun and well displayed.

Deffinetly gives you more than you expect, the ladies there are pretty nice and helpful. They give lots of history in this small museum, I know I learned a lot, cute gift shop, great place to buy books (not a huge selection but good for the size of the museum) about the history of Cowlitz county (books about Longview and Kelso). I did the kids scavenger hunt, and I learned lots about Long Bell, R.A. Long, The Monticello Convention, etc.Overall it would be pretty enjoyable for anyone who is into local history.

Fun to visit with your kids and loved ones. Educational and informative.

A great stop for the local history lesson. Nicely set up.

Haven been named after my grandfather who is remembered in a national museum only to be refused status. So sorry, whats this country coming to.
