Description
The REACH Museum is a museum facility in Richland dedicated to the history and science of the Columbia Basin region. The building and grounds feature interactive exhibits about Ice Age floods, settlement patterns, and regional infrastructure development.
History
The museum was established in 2014, evolving from the Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science, and Technology to document the region's transformation during the Manhattan Project era. This project fundamentally altered the area's economy and population.
