I'm a history buff so this type of place is right up my alley. In any place I visit, I make it a point to learn about its history and get an understanding of how it came to be the way that it is. I got a really good snapshot of how the communities developed on the island and there were some excellent artifacts to behold to go along with the stories of early settlers. It's not too information heavy which is actually good so you won't be spending all day there. Just enough to learn some solid information but not too much to be overwhelming. Entry donation/fee was cheap so a highly affordable way to spend some time. I would have given it five stars but my only critic is the lack of information about Native Americans prior to white settlers. Coming from the American Southwest, I have a deep appreciation for our Indigenous cultures and I feel like they should be better represented in an establishment like this. Definitely recommend this though!

Interesting look at early settlers/white euro homestead cabins. Minimal info and some displays are not terribly coherent, however the cabins themselves are quite impressive. Good for a local historical museum.
Compact museum with 100 year old cabins full of artifacts. Lots of great information on Orcas Island history.
Learned a bit of what early island life was like. Great opportunity to see different types of cabins in the area. Really neat place.
It's a very nice place to visit.
