Children and adults alike will enjoy this delightful local museum located in a 1908 Bainbridge Island schoolhouse. Whether you have come to see the Japanese American internment exhibit and the accompanying Ansel Adams photos of Manzanar, or to learn about the Port Blakely lumber mill (which at one time was the most productive lumber mill in the country), the Native American families that used the island as their seasonal hunting and fishing grounds, the explorers who charted Puget Sound and anchored right off the island, the early families who homesteaded the island, or the Croatian fisherman who settled in Eagle Harbor in the 1880s, you won’t want to miss this museum. The research library is available to visitors and is full of interesting things, like oral histories, historical photographs, biographical and subject files, and, of course, history books focused on Bainbridge Island and the Pacific Northwest.
  • Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial
    Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial
    Arts & Culture;  Attraction;  Attractions;  Historic Building / Landmark;  Park/Garden
    The memorial wall winds solemnly down to the historic Eagledale ferry dock landing site, where the first of more than 120,000 Japanese—two-thirds of whom were American citizens—were banished from their West Coast homes and placed in concentration camps during World War II. The memorial is a reminder—“Nidoto Nai Yoni” (Let it Not Happen Again)—of what happened on March 30, 1942. Built of old-growth red cedar, granite and basalt, the wall honors the names of all 276 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were exiled from Bainbridge Island by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 and Civilian Exclusion Order No. 1. It also celebrates this island community, which defended its Japanese-American friends and neighbors, supported them while they were away, and welcomed them home.

  • Halls Hill Labyrinth & Lookout
    Halls Hill Labyrinth & Lookout
    Attraction;  Park/Garden
    The Bainbridge Island labyrinth at Halls Hill Lookout. The labyrinth is designed in the same 11 circuit medieval styles as the labyrinth at Chartres but is a natural stone mosaic set in its own “cathedral” of trees. W alking the labyrinth as a meditative practice has long intrigued me.  Labyrinths, such as the famous one at Chartres, were used as a metaphorical pilgrimage when a physical pilgrimage wasn’t possible. As with any practice that encourages attention, walking the labyrinth, paying attention to each step to and from the center, can be a quieting and calming experience. I’ve always wanted to visit the labyrinth at Chartres but never have made it there yet. Fortunately, we have a beautiful labyrinth sitting in its own “cathedral” of trees on Bainbridge Island.
