Suquamish Museum Mission . . .

Our mission is to collect, protect, educate, and preserve the history and culture of the Puget Sound Salish Tribes with an emphasis on the Suquamish Tribe.  In order to do this the Suquamish Museum must provide exhibits that allow the visitors from all age levels to understand the culture and history from the view of the First Peoples of the Puget Sound and the Suquamish Tribe, through the use of oral history, photography, artifacts, replication and audio/visual productions.  With the assistance of Tribal elders, scholars and other museum professionals, the Suquamish Museum will strive to meet all of the above goals, and provide visitors with a new understanding of the Native Peoples of the Puget Sound and the Suquamish Tribe.

 How to Find Us

You will find Suquamish after a beautiful, adventurous 30 minute ride across Puget Sound by ferry or a leisurely drive along Washington's scenic byways. The Museum is 15 minutes by car from either the Bainbridge Island or Kingston Ferry Terminals and just 40 minutes from the Bremerton Ferry Terminal.  If arriving by ferry on foot or by bicycle contact us for information about public and private transportation options.
