Kettle Falls Historic Center has undergone a huge transformation since the disastrous flood in 2022. Since then, the artifacts have been preserved and new murals and exhibits have been created. They include panoramic murals of Native encampments, a full-sized pinto pony, several boats and a tule-covered lodge that can be explored. The official grand opening is Wednesday, May 15. This event will coincide with the Fur Trade Festival from May 15 to May 18. The Fur Trade Festival is an annual event that hosts hundreds of school children who are bused in from around Northeast Washington. Special emphasis this year will be on the 200th anniversary of the Establishment of Hudson’s Bay Fort Colville near this location. Fur Trade Reenactors, native representatives and local historians will be there.
