Thank you for visiting the Key Peninsula Historical Society and Museum website. Currently we are observing the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are following their protocol regarding the spread of the coronavirus known as COVID-19.
The museum is open twice a week, and also by appointment. Regular hours are 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons. Note: The museum is closed from December through February while we prepare a new exhibit.
The Key Peninsula Historical Society (KPHS) is dedicated to the preservation of our local history. We hold meetings, organize events, publish newsletters, digitize documents and photos, and staff our local museum.
Our mission is to gather, record, preserve and disseminate information on the history of the Pierce County area generally known as the Key Peninsula, so that succeeding generations of residents will have a firm and accurate record from early exploration and settlement to the present.
Admission to our museum is free although donations are welcomed. If you are visiting from afar, please explore our past museum exhibits in our archives. Check out the museum online store to see our collection of books, mugs, t-shirts, maps and other items for sale, or stop by our Facebook page to see what’s going on at the museum.
Interested in supporting our efforts? Visit the KPHS membership page and join instantly, or if you’d like to make a general financial contribution, you can always make a donation online.
A new exhibit honoring the KP’s veterans is now up at the museum!
Open Tuesdays and Saturdays 1-4 p.m.
