Wanapum unveil new mobile museum

EPHRATA — An upgraded mobile museum that tells the story of the Wanapum Band of the Priest Rapids Indians was unveiled to Grant County Public Utility District commissioners Tuesday. Commissioners got a tour of the new Native American Discovery Unit, which replaced a vehicle that had seen better days. There’s still some work to be done, but when it’s finished the mobile museum will visit schools and other events around the region, according to a PUD press release.
