Staff was so welcoming and told us wonderful stories of his Grandmother!
The Makah Museum, also known as the Makah Cultural and Research Center, houses and interprets artifacts from the Ozette Archeological Site, a Makah village partly buried by a mudslide 300-500 years ago and discovered in 1970. The museum provides a glimpse of pre-contact Makah life. The exhibits feature 500 artifacts including whaling and fishing gear, basketry and replicas of a full size long house and canoes. We were given first-hand accounts from the gentleman at the front counter. The stories he told that came from his Grandmother were absolutely precious. He also worked at the archaeological site that was just out of town several decades ago. Don't miss this hidden gem!

Amazing Museum
A large and extensive museum with fascinating artifacts from the Ozette Village of 500 years ago. Excellent written materials explaining all facets of the Makah lifestyle and culture. The replica Long House is amazing.
