The main reason to stop IMO is the great lighthouse lamp in the second building. Very worth the effort as you can get up close and really check it out. The rest of the museum is good as well.
Take the time to visit every single room inside this historical building. There is an admission charge but if you pay to enter the Grays Harbor Lighthouse ($5) you can save $1 for admittance here. Every room has something different with heaps of artifacts and...More
They have a massive whale skeleton, need I say more?? They also have other bones of other marine life too that are cool.
This small museum is full of interesting maritime artifacts from the Westport area. The highlight is a stunning Fresnel lense from the old Destruction Island lighthouse. It has a whole building devoted to it and its history. There are also whale skeletons in a glass...More

This museum houses a huge display outside of a whale bone. Also they have the very first lighthouse lense you can see up close. Very interesting.
