||| FROM PARKER PAVITT for ORCAS ISLAND HISTORICAL MUSEUM ||

The Orcas Island Historical Museum in Eastsound is soon to be open for the season! We invite you to step through our doors and into a rich past of unique island heritage. Open from 11am-3pm Thursday-Sunday, the Museum welcomes locals and visitors alike. Admission is always free with a $5 suggested donation; fun for all ages!

Featured Exhibits:

*NEW* Orcas Clay: Island Ceramics Through the Years
An Ancient Bison on Orcas Island: Broadening Perspectives on the Past
Marte Harter: Artist, Writer, Islander (1921-1999)
The Power of Community: Connecting the San Juans (with OPALCO)

Don’t forget our gift shop, where we carry a curated selection of art inspired by island life, puzzles, toys, stationery, textiles, ceramics, and books by local authors. Your shopping funds new and ongoing programs, helps to maintain and protect our 130+ year old historic buildings, supports research and exhibits, and contributes to the day-to-day operations of the Museums.

Want to get involved? Join our front desk as a docent! We’re looking for friendly folks to welcome and guide visitors during their museum experience. No experience necessary; training provided.

The mission of Orcas Island Historical Museums is to educate, inspire, connect and involve our community and visitors in the stewardship of our unique island history.
