The Museum & Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) private non-profit, supported by the Second Chance Consignment Shop, MAC Nite Dinner Auction, membership fees, donations, bequests, the Museum Store, and grants. The MAC does not receive any county or municipal funding.

The MAC owns the Dungeness Schoolhouse, Captain Morris House, Washington Harbor Schoolhouse, Exhibit Center, and DeWitt Administration Center, all located in Sequim, Wash. The Dungeness Schoolhouse Committee meets at the schoolhouse on the third Tuesday of each month and prospective committee members are welcome to attend. The Schoolhouse is rented to Peninsula College throughout the year for community education classes. Theatrical events are also often staged there, including performances by Readers Theatre Plus as well as an annual Gilbert & Sullivan production in summertime.

The MAC Exhibit Center, located at 175 West Cedar Street in Sequim, was dedicated May 10, 1979.

Our Roots

The dream for a local museum began in 1976 with the Bicentennial Committee members who formed the idea to build a community museum. A Steering Committee prepared by-laws, policies, and created an exhibit committee. The first artifact storage area was in the city jail, and the first exhibits were in loaned spaces throughout Sequim. By 1979, Mayor Oliver Hamilton was cutting the ribbon to the doors of the current exhibit building. To see a list of the Founders and Benefactors, please click here.

The MAC's top priorities are conservation care, educational programming, and engaging historical and art exhibits.
