is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and displaying the artifacts and history of the American hop growing industry. The museum is located in Toppenish, Washington, in the heart of the Yakima Valley. The Yakima Valley of Washington state grows over 75% of all commercial hops grown in the United States.

The museum first opened in 1993 and is the only museum of its kind in North America. It is located in the former Hop Growers Supply Building in Toppenish, though the 1917 building was originally the Trimble Brothers Creamery. Toppenish is also known as the “City of Murals,” and outside the museum there is an excellent one depicting the history of hops in the Yakima Valley that fills an entire side of the building. There is also large antique farm machinery used by hops growers in a fenced-in lot adjacent to the museum building.

Inside, the museum’s exhibits include artifacts from all over the country, from the colonial period to the present, including old photographs, publications, hop memorabilia, equipment, hop antiques, and a model of a hop kiln.
