CHC

The Cultural Heritage Center Campus is a unique facility. We have the Yakama Nation Museum, Cultural Center Gift Shop, Heritage Inn Restaurant, Heritage Theater, Yakama Nation Library, and the iconic Winter Lodge.

We host a number events all year long. For example, the Yakama Treaty Days starts here with a parade,at the same time we celebrate our anniversary. Other special events are the Yakama Nation Film Festival and Tiin Ma Pow Wow.

The Cultural Heritage Center is open to the general public seven days a week and is a wonderful cultural experience!

Agriculture in the Yakima Valley is huge and we are located in the heart of it all. There is fresh produce during every harvest season. We are walking distance from Yakama Nation RV and Legends Casino.
