Orcas Island Historical Museum

San Juan Islands


Housed in a series of six original homesteader cabins dating from the 1880s, this island museum relates the pioneer and local history of Orcas and the San Juan Islands. Besides the usual collection of household goods, tools, weapons and photographs, there's a history of the lime-kiln industry and a focus on Orcas' first residents, the North Straits Salish.
