Poulsbo Historical Society brings the history of our local area to life in our 4 locations: The Heritage Museum features information, artifacts, and exhibits on our early Scandinavian settlers - their way of life in the rugged Pacific Northwest; and how the town grew throughout the early 20th century. Our Maritime Museum offers insight and exhibits on the importance of our maritime heritage - featuring our local Pacific Cod Fish Company which was a major employer in town for years; the reintroduction of the native Olympic oyster into Liberty Bay, and the many commercial boats that were built in Poulsbo, as well as hundreds of others that called Poulsbo their home port. Our Martinson Cabin that sits in a local park contains artifacts that would have been found in any local home in the late 19th century and features living history events. Our Research and Archives center contains all of the artifacts that are not currently on display at our other locations.

The National Railroad Museum inspires lifelong learning by providing dynamic educational opportunities through the preservation of railroad objects, engaging exhibits, and innovative programs. Located on Cooke Memorial Park, and later adding a portion of land owned by Brown County, the National Railroad Museum’s 33 acres is the site of an increasing collection of rolling stock. Some pieces are housed in our beautiful, enclosed Frederick J. Lenfestey Center, while others are on display outside and under the roof of the Victor McCormick Train Pavilion.
