Show a little hometown love and help the Harbor History Museum survive the Coronavirus Storm. We want to (virtually) gather our Gig Harbor friends, neighbors, family, and visitors from near and far to share a sense of home (while we're all at home) and ponder what it is about our area that makes it the unique and wonderful place it is. Our designer came up with this fun vintage design that gives a favorite old song (Home on the Range) a special Gig Harbor twist (Home on the Bay). But watch out, it's likely to make you sing, or hum, or add your own verse. That's OK! We couldn't resist either, so we did a whole story on the history of Brewster Higley's song "Home on the Range" on our new, community outreach site "Harbor Mystery Museum."
MAY DAY AND GIVING TUESDAY/GIVE BIG SPECIAL: Add a donation of $50 or $100 to become a museum member. Our $50 Supporter Membership is a great way to show your love for the Harbor History Museum.

Home on the Bay
Pacific Northwest Version ? Gig Harbor Style
By Harbor History Museum, 2020
Oh, give me a home where the Cephalopods roam
Where the Gulls and the Harbor Seals play,
Where often is heard the strange gurgling surge,
Of the rain running down to the bay.
Home, home on the Bay,
Where the Gulls and the Harbor Seals play,
Where often is heard the strange gurgling surge,
Of the rain running down to the bay.
Oh! give me a land where the Douglas firs stand,
On hillsides in mighty wide groves,
Where the red cedars rise
Near every streamside and the blackberries ripen in droves.
Chorus
Oh! Give me a boat built sturdy and strong
To ply the deep waters around
Where glideth along the kings, pinks, and late chum,
From the sea to the spawning grounds.
Chorus
With the Museum temporarily closed, we're doing our best to "keep the light on" through fun, community outreach. Your t-shirt or sweatshirt purchase as well as any donations will help the Museum continue to produce fun history projects for our community and beyond.
