Quinault Cultural Center and Museum

The Quinault Cultural Center and Museum is a facility in a repurposed retail building that displays traditional arts, crafts, and objects belonging to the Quinault people. The exhibition divides into several themed areas, including a Great Room, a Veterans Display, an Old Time Kitchen, and a Logging Room.

Opened in 2000, the museum was developed to preserve historical documents, photographs, and manuscripts belonging to the Quinault Indian Nation and neighboring communities. These collections document the region's past and how it has changed over time.

The center reflects how the Quinault community has organized its spaces to honor daily life and skills passed through generations. Basket weaving, food preparation, and logging work are presented as central to how people have lived and continue to live.

The museum is located on 5th Avenue in Taholah, Washington, and is straightforward to reach. Hours and access can vary by season, so checking ahead before visiting helps with planning.

In 2012, the center received funding to research ethnobotanical heritage, leading to creation of a traveling exhibition and educational guide. These mobile resources help the community share knowledge about traditional plant uses and teach throughout the region.
