A new tool for education!
We are excited to introduce this new tool for education, genealogy and historical research to our community. It is the culmination of years of work by museum staff, who have been inputting museum donations, including the Wallie Funk Collection, so that they are now more accessible to all.

Visit the Anacortes Museum – it’s FREE!
No admission is charged at our Carnegie Gallery or our Maritime Heritage Center, and the charge for tours of the W.T. Preston steamboat is minimal.

Founded in 1958 and established at the Carnegie Library building in 1968, the Museum is a department of the City of Anacortes. In 1983, following a successful bid, the City acquired the National Historic Landmark vessel, the W.T. Preston, as part of the Anacortes Museum. In 2005, the Maritime Heritage Center opened to interpret the history of the W.T. Preston and the two boats that preceded it.
