People of Our Past

History comes alive at the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center on Saturday, Feb. 4, as visitors interact with local actors portraying real people from Wenatchee-area history. This year’s characters are Fern Prowell, first Apple Blossom queen; A.Z. Wells, hardware store owner and philanthropist; Dr. Minnie Simmons, early female physician; Conrad Rose, early apple marketer and shipper; and Pete Wheeler, controversial sheriff. Each character appears in a historical setting throughout the museum. Listen to their stories and ask them questions about their lives!
