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
