BACKSTORY:
Opened in 1980, the Kettle Falls Historical Center interprets the Kettle Falls fishery, one of the most important historical sites in the Western United States, as well as other historical sites, including the historic St. Paul’s Mission, Fort Colville and the expeditions into this region by legendary trapper and explorer David Thompson.
The Kettle Falls Historical Center believes the 9,000-year history of the Kettle Falls area must be preserved. Thanks in part to a Heritage Capital Projects grant from the Washington State Historical Society, the organization continues to serve community residents and visitors through educational and recreational programs and exhibits, and the nurturing of cultural activities which reflect their focus.
