Upcoming Exhibits
World War II: Remembering Yakima's Heroes and Heroines
The Museum has begun a project to collect powerful stories of how World War II affected residents of Yakima Valley.
We are looking for first-hand accounts of war experiences in Europe and the Pacific and how the war affected those who remained in the Yakima Valley. We also need photographs, diaries, videos, and artifacts of individuals affected by the war. These can be donated to the Museum or loaned for the duration of the exhibit.
A special effort is being made to include diverse communities, including Natives and Latinos, so the exhibit is comprehensive and compelling. We would be honored to do video interviews with individuals whose experiences document personal transformation and change in our valley caused by the war.
We also need money to help with exhibit construction. Any amount, no matter how big, will be gratefully received.
If you have information and suggestions for reaching out to individuals or families or would like to volunteer, we welcome your help. Please contact the Museum at 509- 248-0747, email info@yvmuseum.org, or use the contact form.
