Open Again with Three New Exhibits

After last year's winter closure we welcomed visitors back to the Polson with our mansion newly restored and with exciting new exhibits ready to explore and enjoy.

The Spectacular Vanishes: When Horses Left the Harbor, in planning for two years, today graces our Living Room and takes an immersive look into the changing transportation world on the Harbor between 1900 and 1930. During those years a radical transformation from horse-drawn to combustion engine equipment took place, one touching every aspect of our personal, commercial and industrial life.

Our second exhibit, Made in Grays Harbor, is intended chiefly as a permanent exhibit but will vary periodically to showcase a wide range of durable goods manufactured on Grays Harbor both past and present. Located in the mansion's Sun Room, the exhibit is geared to provide Harborites and tourists alike with an informative, eye-opening view of products sourced here.

Maritime Grays Harbor, our third exhibit, occupies our Library and features a stunning, illuminated gallery of the museum's most cherished maritime-related artifacts. The exhibit delves into our rich history of shipyards, vessels, bridges and navigation aids once gracing Grays Harbor's waterways.
