Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, Washington, United States
4.5 (132 reviews) Thursday: Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #4 in Bainbridge Island History Museums
Small museum but packed with information!
We took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island for the day and while we were wandering around we came upon this museum. It has a lot of history about the island and especially about the Japanese-Americans that were living in the area during the war. The volunteers that work here are very friendly. It is free but they do take donations.

Special events.
In addition to a VERY NICE, and free, (donations excepted), museum, this place has a small café with both inside and outside eating area. There is an auditorium and the choir I sing with presented our holiday show they are this past Christmas. I have been to numerous other events there also including a beautiful display of Hispanic Cinco de Mayo and October’s Day of the Dead. The museum is next-door to a wine bar and a fun place to get numerous craft beers. All located one block up from the ferry dock on Bainbridge Island. Definitely worth a day trip on the ferry to Bainbridge.

Research for school project
Great information! My granddaughter did school project on the interments of Japanese Americans. I like to provide experiences to back up information gathered from books and internet. We paired this visit with a visit to the Japanese Interment Memorial. This museum had great information on the interment.
