I'm sure part of it is nostalgia, but this museum is great. There is so much history surrounding Grant County and Ephrata and the people who volunteer at the museum are incredibly knowledgeable.
The best time to go is during Sage n' Sun weekend because they have people dress up and act like the first settlers to this area. There's a pretend gun fight and all sorts of fun stuff.
Mick Qualls is usually set up in the Newspaper building and he can tell you anything you want to know.
Mabel Thompson used to teach in Grant County and at over 100 years old she still sits in the school answering questions visitors to the museum during Sage n' sun.
You also get to wear a sticker saying how long you've lived in Ephrata which is fun.
It's a great experience and every child and adult living in the area should go. read more
