This place was really interesting! Many different exhibits, especially for a place of this size. They had local art, a wall of old pictures, the old city jail, and the original city council chamber, which they use to this day. Loved it.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
A must stop and visit. The price is even better! Enjoy local history and even put your kids in jail! Exploring the log book for the jail was so cool! The staff was helpful and took you in as a local.
Cute little museum. Learned a lot about the town and surrounding area. Be sure to check out the horse-drawn hearse!

This is a pretty good small museum. It's a little strange of a layout, but I would guess that's due to the layout of the building it's in. Overall, this was a great stop during our stay in Port Townsend, and well worth the time it took to go through here.
Nicely restored. Fun to see the women's jail, the hearse in the old Fire Hall and the wonderful collection of photographs of the old seaport. The museum offers a walking tour of Port Townsend that's entertaining and worthwhile.
This was an interesting stop on our weekend trip. The museum is interesting, albeit pretty small. The attendant at the desk was friendly and knowledgeable.
What a great little museum and lovely staff! The prison was such a surprise and so interesting! Liked the contemporary exhibition too.
I enjoyed the county jail, the courtroom and the brief displays on different communities in Jefferson County.
My family is from Port Townsend so we are very interested in our family history. The exhibits are very well done and worth seeing.
