Thing to Do
Hanford: Visit the Wanapum Heritage Center
NPS/BURGHART
The Wanapum people’s homeland lies at the center of what is now the Hanford Site in Washington. The Wanapum Heritage Center is located near the site of their former village at the Priest Rapids, which was relocated during construction of the Wanapum Dam. The heritage center includes 10,000 square feet (929 sq. m.) of interactive permanent exhibits and 2,000 square feet (186 sq m.) of rotating exhibits. These exhibits use the words and stories of Wanapum elders and youth to explore their living culture and its history.
