About The Event

Mark your calendars… we’ve got a date. 😉

On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the Kittitas County Historical Museum is hosting The Stories We Share—a community fundraiser supporting the work we do every day to collect, preserve, and share the history, heritage, and culture of Kittitas County.

Whether you’re new to Ellensburg (welcome!) or your roots run deep, this is your invitation to be part of something that lasts: the stories we keep, the exhibits we build, and the place we hold for our community—past, present, and next.

Why This Fundraiser Matters

Your support helps keep the Museum strong and accessible—so we can care for collections, create inspiring exhibits, offer meaningful programs, and welcome the community into a space where everyone belongs. It’s how we keep “remember when…?” moments safe, shareable, and alive for the next generation.

  • Because old photos, quirky artifacts, and hometown legends deserve a safe home.
  • Because our stories are worth telling—and retelling.
  • Because supporting history can be a little bit classy, a little bit sassy, and a whole lot of community pride.
