Makah Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:35:35

Hosted by the Makah Reservation, this museum displays artifacts from one of North America's most significant archaeological finds and is reason enough to visit the town. Exposed by tidal erosion in 1970, the 500-year-old Makah village of Ozette proved to be a treasure trove of native history, containing whaling weapons, canoes, spears and combs. The museum's centerpiece is a mock-up of an old Ozette longhouse. Ask about the whale skeleton for a great story about the community.
