Visited the oldest building on campus which is now a National Heritage site, I believe - the Old Normal School, where my grandmother attended in 1895. Pretty campus, friendly people.

If you plan to see CWU be aware that it is on the opposite end of town. But luckily the town is small so only like a 10-15 minute drive across town

Free ~30-minute guided tours at 10am and 2pm! They also have about five trails for you to explore on your own. Favorite part - the cows that you see by the road (and on the road) when driving to this building! I guess the solar panels and wind turbines are also pretty cool. ;)
