The Franklin County Historical Society & Museum preserves and shares the story of Franklin County from its downtown Pasco home in the beautifully restored 1911 Carnegie Library. Founded in 1968, its permanent exhibits range across paleontology, wildlife, and the region’s dramatic landscapes to Native American history (including some of the Western Hemisphere’s oldest evidence of human habitation), pioneer life, and the growth of the rail, river, and aviation industries. Rotating exhibits, a gallery of agrarian artwork, public programs, and a locally focused gift shop and bookstore round out the visit – a rich, welcoming window into the Mid-Columbia’s past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4283,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"business-category":[86],"city":[30],"class_list":["post-3531","business","type-business","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","business-category-arts-culture","city-pasco"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFranklin County Historical Society & Museum - EatPlayToday<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover Franklin County Historical Society & Museum.
