The rich history of Redmond attracts many tourists every year. If you are a history enthusiast living in our Redmond apartments, cultural touchstones are easily accessible within a few minutes. Here are several different museums in Redmond for every interest:

Woodinville Heritage Museum

Established in 1975, Woodinville Heritage Museum started as a non-profit organization. The primary purpose of this museum was to acquire and preserve the history and artifacts of the greater Woodinville area. Visitors flock to this museum to step back in time. Inside the museum, you’ll find a cottage room with a wringer and washtub, showcasing many women’s weekly routines. The derby room looks like a young girl's room with silver grooming items on the dresser, a wooden dollhouse, and a patchwork quilt in the corner.

Frye Art Museum

If you love gazing upon historical paintings, visit Frye Art Museum. There is a collection of up to 232 exquisite paintings from the US and Germany dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries.
