Celebrated 100 Years in 2010
The building that houses the Indian & Sea Museum was originally built in 1910 as a schoolhouse. It has served as a museum since 1995 and was moved to its present location in 1999.
An Open House was held on Saturday, November 20, 2010 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the building. Cake & Refreshments were served and long time area residents shared their memories of how the building had played an integral part in the community.

The museum houses local artifacts and memorabilia relating to our Native American and fishing heritage. Families of early fisherman have donated supplies and collectibles that make us mindful of the challenges and achievements in the early days of our fishing industry.
