About Garibaldi Museum
The Garibaldi Museum is nestled between the base of Captain
Robert Gray Mountain and the Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi, Oregon. The museum is
chartered to preserve the maritime heritage of the Pacific Northwest by
collecting information concerning Captain Robert Gray and Captain Robert Gray's
historical vessels, the Lady Washington and the Columbia Rediviva.
The museum displays the 18th century sailing world by telling the story of
Captain Robert Gray and the trade with native Americans of the Pacific
Northwest.
Among the museum displays are models of the Columbia and Lady Washington, an
eight foot tall reproduction of the Columbia's figurehead, a half model of the
Columbia showing how the ship was provisioned for the long voyage, as well as
reproductions of the clothing of the seafarers and musical instruments.
One wing features the history of the City of Garibaldi, displaying pictures and
artifacts from the turn of the century.
Visitors of all ages will find interest in the museum. Handicapped accessible
and group and children friendly.
