About the 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.
