Reviews
"Great historical museum on Clark County history, Vancouver Washington"
"CCHM is an invaluable resource to the greater Clark County community. Their historic building (Carnegie Library) alone is worth checking out, but it's full of incredible exhibits, and an impressive research library of reference materials and historic documents. They are also an event venue! Additionally, if you are looking for a unique date night or reason to get out of the house, the museum offers a plethora of fun and educational events, both on site and around the county. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!"
"It only gets 4 stars because while staff was very friendly, it is the second smallest museum I've ever been to. One of the interactive exhibits is cool enough to give it the 4th star because otherwise I would have been disappointed to pay admission (if it hadn't been a free day) just with the size of it. The geocache in there is neat though."
"Local history in an iconic setting. The former Carnegie library makes a fitting home for this local history museum. The museum presents exhibits context of native people and people of color. That gives a richer and more complete telling of the past. They have a small gift shop with great Vancouver post cards, books and other items. There is a research library on the lower level. Well worth the visit."
"A great way to learn about local Vancouver history. Several small but interesting displays including gorgeous Native American beadwork. History teachers can get a free edition of the Clark County historical museum text. The docents are very helpful."
