  Excellent exhibits of local Kitsap history. Also had the State of the Union in Black and White Exhibit, which showed African-American memorabilia from the past.

  Visited with Roosevelt Smith and made a donation to the Black History portion of the Museum. What a gracious gentleman.  Will be back someday to visit again.

  I went with my 4 year old daughter. She had a blast! We spent about an hour but she could have played there all afternoon. There is a puppet play room and the whole museum is very interactive. Highly recommend!
