Island County Historical Museum

To truly understand Whidbey and Camano Islands, one must get an understanding of the past events that shaped today’s island culture.  The Island County Historical Museum is a great place to begin.

The Island County Historical Museum is filled with engaging exhibits designed to trigger the imagination and give visitors a glimpse of the lives of the people who were here before.
