Island County Historic Museum

"The Island County Museum strives for the feel of that old-style museum that we all remember, while simultaneously bringing contemporary and diverse perspectives to our exhibits. We design our exhibits to entertain and inform with displays and artifacts that are meaningful and memorable – and just plain fun!

The ICHS Museum artifact collection contains an array of historic objects dating back to the last Ice Age. Our catalog contains thousands of items, of which only a small percentage can be on display at any given time.

Prehistoric artifacts include an Ice Age tree trunk, and an impressive collection of Colombian Mammoth remains.

Native Peoples artifacts include a large basket collection, stone and wood implements, and eight cedar dugout canoes.

Items related to Island County settlers make up the bulk of our collection. Furniture, clothing, signage, tools of various industries, personal and professional affects, and the first car on Whidbey Island represent residents of Island County from the early 1850's to the present."
