Very sophisticated goods- I got a great knit hat here that was not expensive- but most of the craft items and certainly the linen clothes are pricey. Stil, a beautifully put together place and definitely worth a visit.

The museum was awesome, great information about the history of the PBY Catalina and the workers there knew even more. They answered the questions I had very well and were extremely friendly. I would definitely go again and I would donate again as I heard they are trying to move into a bigger space so they can display even more of what they have. The workers there even stayed late to show us the plane on the other side as we had come about 45 minutes before closing. Amazing museum. Highly recommended.

The tour covered central Whidbey from the ice age thru the indigenous people up to the settlers. Our group had a private tour of the museum by the director, Rick. He is so knowledgable on local lore and his many stories brought history alive. My favorite was the ice age and how the geography was formed. We could have stayed all morning and listened. I have done this tour before but there is always new information and new sites added. I highly recommend this tour.
