I went here for a field trip in college and it was amazing! They were super welcoming, the buildings are beautiful, and its a place that just makes you feel good. The Squaxin Island tribe run this museum fabulously.

Nice Museum to learn about the Squaxin Indian tribe. There are some display cases with artifacts and beautiful hand woven baskets. The Structure itself is made up of supporting logs and amazing wood. The outside has a nice water feature that we really liked

Interesting place, only visited the gift shop/building and a bit of the outdoors area. Bought a couple of items and chatted with employees from tribe. Worth a stop, will go again. Also seen a new Vietnam honor flag that I had not seen a version of before...was impressed with that. I should have taken a photo, oh well, next stop I will.

Tremendous displays involving maps, photos, historic documents and artifacts that help tell the story of the Squaxin Island Tribe, all presented in a quiet and reverential environment.

Amazing history. It supports so much programming and offerings for the community. Great resource for settlers learning about those who originally inhabited the southern coast of the Salish Sea.

For a tiny museum, this one is rather informative about this tribes history. There are artefacts and written accounts of cultural traditions or encounters with white oppression.

Although the outside is very beautiful, we came on Labor day Saturday and it was closed. My kids were very disappointed.
