The Northwest Carriage Museum opened its doors in 2002 as a result of a very generous donation of restored 19th century horse drawn vehicles from local residents Gary and Cec Dennis. Their interest in this era of transportation history inspired them to purchase and restore several magnificent vehicles to their former elegance.
Today, there are many incredible horse drawn vehicles at the museum. In addition, other museum exhibits include a 1890 schoolhouse, a wheelwright/blacksmith shop, an educational transportation timeline, period clothing, artifacts, pictures and, of course, a unique gift shop.
We are proud that the Northwest Carriage Museum has truly become a destination point for visitors to the Northwest. We have been described as a “must see” by many visitors and publications.
The museum has been voted one of Western Washington’s best museums!
We invite you to join the thousands of annual visitors on your next visit to the Washington coastline (southwest of Olympia).
