COVID-19 GUIDELINES for Visitors

Please wear a mask (even if vaccinated), maintain social distance from others outside of your visitor group and don't visit if you're feeling ill.

Follow posted one-way direction signage in buildings, or, limit groups indoors in one-door buildings to only those in your group. Hand sanitizer is available.

Docents will be masked and attest to being symptom-free before their shift.

Much of the museum is outdoors or in ventilated/airy buildings with open windows or doors, but please, continue to mask-up to protect yourself and others!

Admission

Admission is by donation. Suggested minimum is $5 per adult. Youth are free.

The museum relies on admissions to share and preserve the history of the Methow Valley, yet is available to all regardless of ability to pay. Please give generously!

Cash, checks or contactless credit card payments accepted.

We are a Blue Star Museum, offering free admission to active duty military and their families.

Large Group Tours

Available by request. Please phone or email at least 2 weeks prior to your desired date staff@shafermuseum.org or (509) 380-9911. Guides are volunteers and we need time to ensure staff are available to meet you. A tour fee and admissions fees are collected in advance or at the time of your tour.
