The city of Okanogan is a sportsman’s, vacationer’s or historian’s paradise. This region enjoys a great deal of pine forests, pioneer homesteads and access to the Okanogan National Forest, full of sparkling lakes and rivers.

The Okanogan County Historical Museum exhibits artifacts pertaining to local history including a reproduction of a 19th century main street. Also, on display, is the work of frontier photographer Frank Matsura.

Matsura settled in the Okanogan Valley in 1903. A prolific photographer, he captured the life and times of American Indians and homesteaders throughout this region.
