Founded in 1958 and established at the Carnegie
Library building in 1967, the Museum is a department of the City of
Anacortes. In 1983, following a successful bid, the City acquired the
National Historic Landmark, the W.T. PRESTON, as part of the Anacortes
Museum. In 2005, the Snagboat Heritage Center opened to interpret the
history of the W.T. PRESTON and the two boats that preceded it.
