Port Gamble Historic Museum

Fodor's Review:

Beneath the General Store, the Smithsonian-designed Port Gamble Historic Museum takes you through the region's timber heyday. Highlights include artifacts from the Pope and Talbot Timber Company, which built the town, and realistic ship's quarters. Above the General Store, the Of Sea and Shore Museum houses more than 25,000 shells. Kids love the weird bug exhibit. Stop at the kitschy General Store for a cheap souvenir and a huge ice-cream cone.

  • Cost: Historic Museum $2.50, Shell Museum free
  • Open: May-Sept. daily 9:30-5; Oct.-Apr., by appointment
