Harbor History Museum

The Harbor History Museum (operated by the Gig Harbor Peninsula Historical Society) preserves and shares the rich history of the Gig Harbor area through engaging exhibits, educational programs, and community events, fostering a deeper appreciation for local heritage and culture.

Step into the stories of Cromwell&rsquo;s past on a guided walk through the historic cemetery. Together, we&rsquo;ll explore real lives, family ties, and community milestones that shaped the Gig Harbor Peninsula. This tour supports the Harbor History Museum&rsquo;s mission to preserve and share our region&rsquo;s cultural heritage. Your registration helps us care for local artifacts, offer hands-on programs for students, and keep these stories and resources accessible to residents, visitors, and researchers.
