The Cheney Historical Museum is our local history museum dedicated to gathering and preserving information and artifacts concerning the history of the Four Lakes, Cheney, Tyler, and Amber districts of Spokane County in eastern Washington. Our museum tells the story of communities born from agriculture and railroads, committed to education, and tied together by families.

The collection was started in 1935 by the Tilicum Club, a women’s social and service organization, asked by pioneer families to preserve items of their history.

The Tilicum Club is now joined by the Friends of the Cheney Historical Museum and other volunteers in operating the museum, doing research, and caring for the collection.
