The museum is composed of four buildings. The first is the old City Hall building, built in 1892, and featuring contemporary art, Victorian clothing, history exhibits and the Watch Museum. The second building features Northwest Coast First Nations and Eskimo exhibits, as well as logging and settlement displays. The third contains major changing exhibits of art, history, and topical issues. And last but not least, visitors encounter the Whatcom Children's Museum -- a hands-on museum for young children featuring many interactive exhibits. This is just one of the many Historical Museums located throughout Washington.
