Fantastic museum with great exhibits on the diverse history of Kitsap. Modern interactive exhibits and a hands on area. Check out the ferry touchscreen exhibit. And it's free!!

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!
