Olmstead Place State Park, Pioneer farm state park in Kittitas County, United States.
Olmstead Place State Park preserves about 217 acres of farmland with original buildings, period equipment, and a creek flowing across the property. The site shows how agriculture operated in this region over a century ago.
The Smith family started this farm in 1875 and worked the land using traditional methods for many generations. The property became a state park in 1971 and is now registered as a historic site.
The museum inside displays tools and household objects from pioneer daily life in the region. These items help visitors understand how families actually lived and worked on the farm.
The grounds are open from early morning until dusk and offer hiking trails, fishing spots, and guided tours of the historic buildings. The best time to visit is during months with longer daylight hours when all areas are fully accessible.
The park maintains a heritage garden with plant varieties from the pioneer era to show what produce grew here in the past. The creek also supports wild fish populations that become especially active during certain seasons.
