At the REACH Museum we inspire learning by sharing the stories of the Mid-Columbia River Region, its people, and its impact and contributions to the world.
Our vision is to be an indispensable educational resource and premier cultural destination that serves as a gateway for understanding the natural and cultural significance of the region, for present and future generations.
We accomplish this by providing learning programs, outreach, teacher training, and curricula that complement Washington States K–12 Learning Standards/Next Generation Science Standards with an emphasis on K–8 students and their families.
We also do so by being an epicenter for tourism specifically for learning about Ice Age Floods, Mid-Columbia River Basin history, and the Hanford Reach National Monument.
So bring your curiosity and explore our galleries and outdoor learning areas while enjoying breathtaking views of the Columbia River. From the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, and Beyond—come and discover the wonder of your back yard!
