The Museum showcases a series of short-term exhibits featuring the special collections of Fidalgo and Guemes residents.

The Maritime Heritage Center, with exhibits about the grand old cod schooner Wawona and the W.T. Preston snagboat, is closed until April. The center and the snagboat reopen for weekend hours when the Farmers Market resumes operation.

This natural history exhibit, which continues through May 2013 at the Anacortes Museum’s Carnegie Gallery, showcases the changing and sometimes uneasy relationship between people and plants.

Did you know Anacortes had a woman mayor 35 years ago? Learn about Mayor Bettye Bryant and other groundbreaking Anacortes women at the exhibit Moving "Forward: Looking Back: Washington’s First Women in Government," which continues through the end of March at the Anacortes Museum.
