Smithsonian Day at the Log House Museum

On Saturday, September 25, 2010, The Log House Museum will join participating museums and cultural institutions nationwide to open their doors free of charge to all visitors who download the Museum Day Ticket from Smithsonian.com. A journey to celebrate our world’s dynamic heritage and cultural life, participating Museum Day venues emulate the free admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, D.C.-based facilities.

Museum Day 2010 is poised to be the largest to date, outdoing last year’s record-breaking event. Over 300,000 museum-goers and 1,300 venues in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico participated in Museum Day 2009. Last year, two million visitors logged on to www.smithsonian.com/museumday to learn more about the program.


The Log House Museum is a project of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society and collects, preserves and shares the history of the Duwamish Peninsula. This is the society’s third year of participation, and the first with a walking tour included. The 50 minute tour will include the historic area surrounding the museum and begin at 10:45 am. The museum is open on Saturday 11-4 and located at 3003 61st Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116. www.loghousemuseum.info
