    Atomic Bomb History Display
    David M.

    " Great Museum with Outstanding Hands on History" My wife and I visited The Reach in Richland Washington last week, and had a great experience.The Museum and Interpretive Center is a newer facility which was built in 2014, and is one of the best hands on educational history venues, I have ever seen, The History of the area with the building of the Atomic Bombs for the United States, was so interesting. Many films and different hands on educational devices, helped us understand the years of history in the Richland, and surrounding areas. The Reach is a great educational and historical experience for the entire family.

    Beautiful structure. The interior was dark for the party we went to but the exhibits were informative. Not much for kids and no hands on learning.

    Don't let the small size of the building fool you - this is an incredibly jampacked experience! The exhibit space had everything carefully laid out on and very well presented, and it gave in very short order the entire history of the area from pre-history all the way to current day. Let other museums have grand concourses and spacious airy halls - this presents it without any additional frills, and it has a compact presentation of a lot of stuff. Not really kid friendly, this is more of a serious adult type of thing where you can get every piece of information you've ever wanted to know about the Hanford Reach (section) of the Columbia River. Very good section on the World War II years.

    Very nice facility and presentations. I really appreciated the dual focus. The first focus is on the geology and early history of the region. The second is focused on the critical nature of Hanford and the area in the race for a way to end World War II. The coverage was very well balanced.

    This place if very pretty but not worth it since the owner or manager thinks he can micromanage…read moreyour entire party. He started taking our decor and empty tables down around 8pm. We ended up ending everything by 10 pm (instead of 12)since I was over it . We also had kids at our wedding and he was after them like they were going to destroy his place . Don't let this place/owner ruin your most magical day! Our wedding was 3 weeks ago.

    This place is a nightmare!!! The venue is absolutely stunning! However, the couple who run it are…read morehorrific! They completely destroyed my daughter's wedding from start to finish. They interfered with my vendors, destroyed our decor at the start of the reception, removed our chair sashes at the start of the reception, threw away the wedding cake before anybody got to eat it, breeched our contract in several areas leaving us to have to hire our own staff, were aggressive and rude the entire time leaving several of us in tears throughout the event. Our contracted time to end was 11:59pm, they made our guests believe the wedding was over at 8pm and about half of our guests left. We were forced to pack our things and leave before 11:00pm on July 4,2022. The venue also jumped behind the bar while the bartender had stepped away and started serving drinks to our guests! Creating a huge liability for our bartender. The man who runs this venue so horrific his own staff is willing to write statements on our behalf. The amount of time, money, and work we put into our daughters wedding was completely destroyed. The most special day of her life, we can't do over, was ruined by the people who run this venue. Brides and vendors BEWARE!!!!! This place is a nightmare!

    " Abraham Lincoln would be proud of this Museum "…read more Abraham Lincoln once quoted " American History is not something dead or over, It always is alive, always growing, always unfinished ". My wife and I visited the Franklin County Historical Museum in Pasco, Washington last week and were so amazed at what we witnessed. The Museum was originally constructed in 1910 as part of Andrew Carnegie's worldwide library construction program. A new library was built in 1962, after which the building served several different business concerns, ending in a period of abandonment and neglect. In 1980 the Society was offered the opportunity to use the building as its museum. Between 1980 and 1982, the building was beautifully refurbished by volunteers. It opened to the public as the Franklin County Historical Museum on January 3, 1983. The Museum is managed by Sherel Webb the Franklin County Historical Society Administrator, and after talking with Sherel you can feel her passion and love for the Museum and it's future growth. Sherel pushes hard to follow the Historical Society's mission statement that " we shall preserve and promote the history of Franklin County through educational publications, programs, and the operation of the Franklin County Museum ". The Museum has two levels of exhibits, a gift shop, archives for research, meeting rooms for programs, memorial books, and monthly and quarterly publications. They also have Museum memberships available. Admission is Free, and donations are welcome. The display pieces in the Museum where fantastic, and brought back a lot of memories. It is definitely worth a trip to this small dessert town to see the History, and to learn more about the stories of the pioneers of Franklin County.
