About the Elwha Klallam Museum at the Carnegie
The Elwha Klallam Museum at the Carnegie is a cultural institution located in the historic Carnegie Library in downtown Port Angeles, Washington. Managed by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the museum showcases a collection of cultural and historical artifacts related to the tribe and other indigenous communities on the Olympic Peninsula.
One of the highlights of the museum is the exhibit on the ancient tribal village of č̕ixʷícən, which was uncovered in 2003 during construction of the Hood Canal Bridge. The village site dates back to 750 B.C. and offers a glimpse into the rich history of the region.
Visitors can also learn about the Elwha River Dam Removal project, the largest in US history, and its impact on the local ecosystem. This family-friendly exhibit explores the reasons behind the project and the efforts to promote ecological growth in the area.
The Elwha Klallam Museum at the Carnegie is a must-visit for those interested in Native American history and the cultural heritage of the Pacific Northwest. Visit us at 205 South Lincoln Street in Port Angeles to explore our fascinating exhibits.
