History House of Greater Seattle

Fodor's Review:

This small museum celebrates the history of Seattle's neighborhoods, mostly through displays of old photographs. It's a great way to get a tiny glimpse of the Seattle of yesteryear, especially if you don't have time to go to the Museum of History & Industry in Montlake. The museum's entrance is bound to grab your eye as you walk by: the iron-wrought gates look like tree branches sprouting colorful houses, butterflies, and the Space Needle; behind them is a fun sculpture garden.
