Poulsbo Historical Society & Museums

Bringing the Past to Life

Our mission is collecting, recording, preserving and exhibiting the history, heritage and culture of Poulsbo and the surrounding communities. We offer four museums (the Heritage Museum and Maritime Museum on Front Street, the Archive and Resource Center at City Hall, and Martinson Cabin on Lindvig Way) as well as historical walking tours of downtown Poulsbo. All four museums are free of charge.

Join Our Team!

We are always looking to fill volunteer openings throughout the year at our various locations.
