This kid-friendly, visually-stimulating and hands-on museum offers a glimpse of the region's past through a collection of locally-found Indian artifacts. The Palouse Indians wintered about 25 miles northwest of Dayton, not far from Palouse Falls near the confluence of the Palouse and Snake Rivers. A nomadic people, the Palouse made seasonal rounds hunting and gathering food along the area's rivers and in the nearby Blue Mountains. They also met with other native peoples from around the region for celebrations that included trading, feasting, sport and gambling. A popular gathering place was along the Touchet River at what is now Dayton. The dirt trail where horse races were once held later became the town's Main Street. There is also a Lewis & Clark display. Hours: Fridays and Saturdays from 1 - 4pm or by appointment. Call 509-382-4820. Free admission but donations welcomed.
