Donald-Wapato Bridge
Constructed in 1948, the concrete box girder Donald-Wapato Bridge replaced an earlier timber bridge. It was one of the first multiple-cell concrete box girder bridges constructed in Washington State, designed by noted engineer, Homer M. Hadley.
Herke Hop Kiln
The Herke Hop Kiln near Donald was built around 1915, and used for hops grown on the Herke ranch in Parker Bottom. This kiln was probably owned and built for Frank Herke who had bought the land in 1911 from his brothers John A. and Joseph. The kiln and land stayed in the Herke family until 1955. The Herke Hop Kiln was moved in 1978 to be saved from demolition for Interstate 82 being built at that time.
