Welcome To The Poulsbo Historical Society.

We are delighted to have you as part of our extended family of members that believe in our mission:

Regardless of whether you are a long-time North Kitsap residents, new citizens in our community, or history enthusiasts from afar, we are grateful for your support and participation with our organization. 

Your membership helps support our four locations – The Heritage and Maritime Museums in the heart of downtown Poulsbo; The Martinson Cabin in Nelson Park just off Viking Avenue; and our Archive & Resource Center located in City Hall. In addition, your membership dollars allow us to provide community programming, activities, and events year-round that share our love of local history with members and visitors alike.

*All memberships are billed on an annual basis; your membership will commence on the day of purchase and will expire exactly one year afterward.
