Harbor History Museum

The Harbor History Museum is a history museum in Gig Harbor with exhibitions about the development of the region from early settlement to modern times. The rooms display objects from different periods that tell the story of how the peninsula changed and grew.

The museum was founded to preserve and share the history of the Gig Harbor Peninsula. It grew from the desire to secure the community's memories and artifacts for future generations.

The museum documents the traditions of the local community through personal objects and stories that show how people lived here in the past. These collections offer glimpses into daily life and customs that shaped the region.

The museum is located in an easily accessible spot in downtown Gig Harbor and offers plenty of room to browse through exhibitions. Most visitors need about 1 to 2 hours to properly explore the collections.

The museum is carefully restoring an old fishing boat called the Shenandoah from 1925, which visitors can watch during their visit. This restored vessel is a living example of the maritime skills and traditions that shaped the region.
