Visit the 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. View our current, permanent, and past exhibits.

Book a guide or field-trip

Education is one of the most important parts of our mission. ICHS provides field trips, guided museum tours, museum-to-go programs, and more for Island County Residents and the general public. Looking to book one of our education programs or discover more about our offerings?

Explore our archives

A very important part of what we do is to serve as stewards of the written and photographic history of Island County. The Janet Enzmann Archives and Research Library was organized and “brought into the 20th century” by our beloved volunteer, Janet Enzmann - and for this, we have memorialized our Library and Archives in her honor and memory.

Our Archives is always being improved and updated - history never stops! It is a valuable resource for family historians, scholars, and students. Interested in doing research?

Discover our collections

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