Cortes Island Museum & Archives Society

Thanks for our tour Lily! Incredible knowledgeable local youth who toured our group through their mapping exhibit. There was so much information about the island, from the Klahoose and other coast Salish nations to the more recent histories. We really appreciated the knowledge and the pace. They also have an awesome book section!

Wonderful gardens out the back of the store, totally organic. Lots of flowers as well as vegetables.

Great little place filled with historic information & an impressive selection of books by local authors for sale to enjoy on your return home .

Admittedly I visited the museum and gift shop portion more than the archives, and was not disappointed! We waited until Friday from Tuesday to visit this place. The selection of items in the gift store was decent and history of the island artfully and engagingly displayed. The person working there was delightful and helpful.
