Irrigation gave life to Spokane Valley, and now the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum is giving new life to the area’s farming history with a special exhibit on irrigation.
If your family farmed the Spokane Valley, or your childhood memories involve visiting the Valley farms to harvest their delicious fruits and vegetables, or if you just love local history, you'll want to visit the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum's "Water is the Story" exhibit.
More details and photographs here.
