The Kittitas County Historical Museum (KCHM) is excited to announce its all-new Summer Ellensburg Historic Pub Crawl event!
ย 
Join us on October 23rd from 5pm to 8pm, as we share Ellensburgโ€™s interesting, colorful, and often mysterious past in a fun and entertaining way. With a night full of saloons and salacious stories, this event is great for both those new to Ellensburg and long-time residents. The Ellensburg Historic Pub Crawl makes a memorable date night, team building event, or a night on the town.

Tickets will be on sale in late summer (exact date TBD). Museum members will receive advance notification of the ticket drop.

  • The event starts at our Museum where you will meet local historians who will take you through four (4) of Ellensburgโ€™s downtown establishments, with each featuring a bite to eat and an alcoholic libation to drink, lively narratives, side splitting stories, and juicy tidbits that our pioneers didnโ€™t want you to hear! The event will conclude back at the Museum with a shot of delicious alcohol crafted by a local distillery. It will be paired with a specially-made treat crafted by one of our local bakers and/or chocolatiers just for the evening’s event.
  • The event kicks off at 5:00pm. The Pub Crawl will end around 8:00 p.m. This event involves some walking and standing outdoors, so please plan and dress accordingly.
