Maritime Museum
This feature is learning and activity booklets that will engage visitors in learning about the role of the sea-going services homeported locally with regard to national security, the environment, and lifesaving missions.

Heritage Museum
“PCS” (Permanent Change of Station): Learn the effects of a large military presence on a small town. Activity booklets will explore what sorts of changes the military has had on Poulsbo, from schools and housing to businesses and other community functions.

Martinson Cabin
Assimilation will be a focus for activity booklets that examine what draws military families to settle long-term in Poulsbo and what it means to become a part of a community. It will draw on comparisons between the Martinson family immigrating from Norway and modern military families. See day-to-day living through a transient military lens.
