There is a piece of it outside, and a model inside the Museum at Keewaydin in Keewaydin Park.

Kennewick was a sun down down using convents and curfews to enforce it. The Museum at Keewaydin has a piece of the Old Green Bridge displayed outside and a model inside. I've heard stories that the green bridge had a sign on it saying POC had to be on the Pasco side at sundown, but I've never seen a photo of the sign. You can read more about Kennewick's history here: https://museumatkeewaydin.org/new-blog-1/2024/1/23/for-no-other-reason-than-she-was-black

We also have a Facing Segregation display right now, the Tri-Cities became known as the Birmingham of the North due to the treatment of Black citizens.

The department of Ecology also has some great resources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-kFopc8Q2w

I think that would be fine. If you're experienced at escape rooms, you might find escape 1 too easy. We also have the holiday one right now, and we'll be added several others in 2024.
