ORCAS ISLAND HISTORICAL MUSEUMS
The Orcas Island Historical Museum in Eastsound has a variety of permanent and rotating exhibits that focus on different aspects of Orcas Island history. Some of the current exhibits are
- *new* Orcas Clay: Island Ceramics Through the Years
- Power of Community: Electrifying the San Juans
- Ancient Orcas Island Bison in which we have an original 14,500 year-old bison skull that was found on Orcas. The unique construction of the Museum - a series of six cabins, additional display rooms, and a large Main Gallery - create a dynamic space and a feeling of being truly immersed in history.
Orcas Island Historical Museums steward and operate both museums under its care, and welcome thousands of visitors every year.
The Orcas Island Historical Museum is located in the heart of Eastsound, 181 North Beach Rd. Hours are Thursday-Sunday, 11am-3pm.
